S. Korda wins Washington title 32 years after dad
WASHINGTON — Sebastian Korda completed a father-son double Sunday night in the Mubadala Citi DC Open for his second ATP Tour title.
Thirty-two years after father Petr won the then-Sovran Bank Classic, the fourth-seeded Korda beat 10th-seeded Flavio Cobolli of Italy 4-6, 6-2, 6-0 in a match delayed at the start because of rain.
They are the first father-son tandem to win the same ATP Tour event.
The 24-year-old Korda, a 6-foot-5 right-hander, is the younger brother of golf stars Nelly and Jessica Korda. His mother, Regina Rajchrtova, played on the WTA Tour.
Korda is the first American to win the Washington event since Andy Roddick in 2007. His previous victory on the tour came in May 2021 in the Emilia-Romagna Open, an ATP 250 tournament.
