Quick Quotes

Q. Just to see what your sister has done all year, what does that mean to you as her brother and to be able to root her on out here?

SEBASTIAN KORDA: Yeah, it's pretty cool to watch her do her thing. She's done so well this year; worked unbelievably hard. She's gone through a lot of things and always comes back fighting and has just gotten back to work. That's one of the most things I admire about her is just how hard of a worker she is.

She's just overall an amazing athlete.

Q. You two obviously shared a really cool moment. You picked her up, big hug, swung her around. I know as much as you two are incredible athletes, it's more fun to be siblings. What's Nelly like as a sister?

SEBASTIAN KORDA: Extremely supportive. She watches almost all my matches whether I'm playing in Australia, Asia. She's always texting me and watching me. I couldn't ask for more as a sister. The amount of support and love she gives to all of us, just an incredible person and just really love watching her do her thing.

Q. Are you the new good luck charm?

SEBASTIAN KORDA: I don't know. I came for the last three holes. I flew in late so a little rough. Just happy to be here and watch her win.

Q. I got this question a long time ago and they really wanted Jess or you to answer it. What kind of competitor is Nelly? What is it like to see her raise the bar so high this year?

SEBASTIAN KORDA: I think competitor, what you see is what you get. She's absolutely fierce. She's clutch. There is no one I guess works harder than her.

She's an incredible hard worker and all that she achieves she earns. Just a lot of fun to watch her do her thing.
