Early life and background


Korda grew up playing competitive junior ice hockey from the age of 3, but decided to switch to tennis at the age of 9 after accompanying his father to the 2009 US Open.[1] He is the son of former Czech tennis players Petr Korda and Regina Rajchrtová, with his father being a former Australian Open champion and French Open finalist in both singles and doubles. He has two older sisters Jessica and Nelly who are both professional golfers.



Professional career


Korda made his ATP main draw debut at the 2018 New York Open. As a wild card entry, he lost in the first round to fellow up-and-coming American Frances Tiafoe in three sets.

Mononymous person

Image
Plato, the Greek philosopher, is universally known by a single name. A mononymous person is an individual who is known and addressed by a single name, or mononym. [a] [b] In some cases, that name has been selected by the individual, who may have originally been given a polynym ("multiple name"). In other cases, it has been determined by the custom of the country [c] or by some interested segment. In the case of historical figures, it may be the only one of the individual's names that has survived and is still known today.
