Sebastian Korda wins DC Open 32 years after father Petr

WASHINGTON — Sebastian Korda completed a father-son victory at the Mubadala Citi DC Open on Sunday night to capture his second ATP Tour title.

Thirty-two years after father Petr won the then Sovran Bank Classic, the fourth-seeded Korda defeated 10th-seeded Italian Flavio Cobolli 4-6, 6-2, 6-0 in a match postponed due to rain.

They are the first father-son duo to win the same ATP Tour event.

The 24-year-old Korda, a 6-foot-5 right-handed thrower, 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 event in Washington since Andy Roddick in 2007. Korda’s previous victory on the tour came in May 2021 at the Emilia-Romagna Open, an ATP 250 tournament.
