Following his controlled victory against Pedro Martinez, the player born in 2000 returned to a press conference on this next opposition: « He’s my absolute idol! It’s one of the reasons I play tennis. Just watching him play… he’s an incredible competitor. He never gives up on the court. I try to be like him. I love her so much that my cat’s name is Rafa! It says a lot about my admiration for her, » explained Korda who knows full well that his idol will not give him any gifts on the court.
