He was also the runner-up in 1991 (d. by Andre Agassi) and 1997 (d. by Michael Chang). Petr was also coaching Radek Stepanek when the Czech won the tournament in 2011 after defeating Gael Monfils in the final 6-4 6-4.
Sebastian Korda the winning the Citi Open
Sebastian is about to play a tough third round against Jannik Sinner. Talking about winning the Citi Open, Sebastian commented:
“It would be super cool. My dad winning it, then Radek, he won here as well. I think that would be really awesome, just having my dad coaching him, then coaching me. If we were somehow to pull it off and win this tournament, it would be something super special, that’s for sure”.
