Sebastian Korda returned to action on Monday at the Winston-Salem Open, registering a commanding straight-sets victory (6-3, 6-4) over Vit Kopriva.

Korda and Ivana went public with their relationship in 2021, and their bond has only strengthened over the years. Both share rich sporting legacies—Korda’s father, Petr Korda, is a 1998 Australian Open champion, his mother, Regina Rajchrtova, competed on the WTA tour, and his sister, Nelly Korda, is an Olympic golf gold medalist. Meanwhile, Ivana is the daughter of Pavel Nedvěd, one of Czech football’s all-time greats.
Beyond her family background, Ivana has carved out her own career. She holds a bachelor’s degree in events, sport & entertainment (luxury brand management) from Glion Institute and a master’s in International Marketing from King’s College London. She has worked with prestigious companies like Alfa Romeo, CONI, and Condé Nast Italia.
Ivana frequently supports Korda courtside, having been spotted at events including the Australian Open, Monte Carlo Masters, Indian Wells, and Roland Garros. Korda has publicly praised her for providing vital emotional backing, which has helped him maintain focus on his tennis journey.
As Korda continues his campaign at Winston-Salem and beyond, Ivana remains an integral part of his life—both as a partner and as a pillar of support in his professional career.
