It\u2019s (almost) tennis off-season, and that means one thing. No, it\u2019s not just time for the players to train. In the tennis world, it\u2019s also engagement season. The professional tour is relentless, lasting 11 months of the year, so it\u2019s no surprise that most tennis stars wait until the off-season to pop the question to their significant other, and Sebastian Korda has become the latest to get engaged.<\/p>\n
The world No. 48 ended his season just a few days ago, losing in the Athens semi-finals, and wasted no time in proposing to his long-time girlfriend Ivana Nedvev. Both Korda and Nedved come from famous sporting families, and they\u2019re now set to tie the knot.<\/p>\n
A former world No. 15 and two-time title winner, Korda isn\u2019t the only athlete in his family. He\u2019s not even the only tennis player.<\/p>\n
His father, Petr Korda, reached No. 2 in the world and won the 1998 Australian Open<\/a>, while his mum, Regina Rajchrtova, is a former world No. 26 who twice reached the second week of the US Open.<\/p>\n Korda\u2019s sisters, Nelly and Jessica, are both professional golfers. Nelly is a two-time major winner and former No. 1.<\/p>\n And Nedved also knows exactly what it\u2019s like to grow up in a sporting household, as her dad, Pavel Nedved, played for Juventus and won the Ballon d\u2019Or in 2003.<\/p>\n Korda announced their engagement on Instagram<\/a> on Monday, sharing a strip of photos he and Nedved took a photo booth while she showed off her ring. \u201cForever and then some,\u201d he wrote in the caption with a heart emoji.<\/p>\n The 25-year-old also shared a selfie on his story. Again, Nedved flashed her pear-shaped ring.<\/p>\n
