 People may well be following the Korda family.

Especially as Andy Murray was tweeting his huge admiration a couple of days ago.

Mother and Father are both ex-pro tennis players of very high level - dad reached WR 2 and won the AUssie Open, mum made it to 26. (Mind you, dad was also done for doping) 

Three kids: 

Nelly Korda (middle sister and only 22) is a pro golfer and just won her first Major and is now WR 1 (!)

Jessica Korda is elder sister, also pro golfer and WR15

Baby Seb (only 20) is racing up the ranks of pro tennis.

Watched some of his first match, against de Minaur...... very impressive

Ahhhhh Ive missed Murray matches at Wimbledon, nothing quite like it!

Also considering I slag off most of the commentators I will say I enjoy Andrew Cotter quite a lot

 Have you seen his videos with commentary starring his two dogs Olive and Mabel?  Hilarious.

 I remember Petr Korda well and his scissor kick celebration. Excellent player, I believe it was nadrolone he got caught for . 

Seb is talented and probably the usas big hope. He will be playing Davis Cup in next year or so. 

tough match for Dan .

101 in live rankings now, actually equal with Pouille on points . One more win would take him back into the top 100!

Based on singles, only, they will be back on schedule after today, hopefully plenty of time over weekend to catch up on doubles

@seagull I've sent you a pm but putting it here aswell so you possibly see it. Try to get on Court 14 to watch Hurkacz. I really enjoyed watching him Tuesday, beautiful hands.

OK, so I know he's no longer a tennis Brit - but just to mention that Ali Bedene has just won his R2 match, 6-1 6-0 6-2 !

 Yes he is. He was tight to begin and went down 0-3 but then turned things around.
