Rafael Nadal and Sebastian Korda
American tennis player Sebastian Korda developed such a bromance with Rafael Nadal that he once named his cat after the Spanish superstar. Now he gets the chance to take on the World No. 2 in an unlikely French Open Last-16 duel on Sunday. "Growing up, I named my cat Rafa after him. That says a lot about how much I love the guy," said Korda after seeing off Spain's Pedro Martinez 6-4, 6-3, 6-1 in Friday's third round.
Korda is ranked a lowly 213 in the world and is making his Paris debut having come through qualifying. Prior to this week, he had never won a match on the main tour. Nadal said he was "happy to hear that" when informed that Korda had named his cat after him and that he was the American's idol.
