Dan Evans crashes out of Wimbledon to big American hope Sebastian Korda

Evans fails in his bid to reach second week for the first time
Korda is son of Petr Korda and his sister is world golf No 1

Dan Evans’ quest to reach the second week of Wimbledon for the first time will have to wait another year after he was undone by a man who may yet become one of the big American hopes, Sebastian Korda. The 20-year-old, who reached the fourth round at Roland-Garros last year, equalled that achievement with a powerful, mature performance that no doubt will have made his father proud.

In terms of the gene pool, Korda is perhaps second only to the children of Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf. The son of Petr Korda, the former Australian Open champion, and of Regina Rajchrtova, the former world No 26, Korda is the brother of Nelly Korda, the new world No 1 golfer and US PGA champion, and Jessica Korda, who is also on the Olympic team.
