American tennis star Sebastian Korda recently updated fans on his ongoing elbow troubles, announcing he underwent surgery to address the injury that hampered his performance at the 2024 U.S. Open. Korda’s sisters, golf stars Jessica and Nelly Korda, shared his Instagram post on their own social media, showing support for their brother’s recovery journey.
“I’ve been dealing with some elbow issues, and my team and I decided surgery was the best option,” Korda wrote, reassuring fans with, “Everything went great, and I can’t wait to be back on court soon. Thanks for all your support!” Jessica, his older sister, expressed her encouragement with the comment, “Comeback is always stronger than the setback,” while Nelly added a simple, heartfelt “❤️.”
The road to recovery will determine Korda’s return timeline, which remains uncertain. The elbow injury impacted his U.S. Open performance, where he called for medical attention during his August 29 match against Tomas Machac but was unable to overcome the discomfort. Despite showing flashes of a comeback in the third set, Korda ultimately bowed out with a 6-4, 6-3, 6-4 defeat.
With his sisters rallying behind him, Korda has plenty of support as he begins his journey back to the court. Fans, now including those from the golf world, are eagerly awaiting his recovery and return to competitive tennis.
