Sebastian Korda was extremely confident about his chances at Wimbledon when he said during the Queens Club tournament that he should be considered one of the favorites to win the 3rd slam of the year. Soon after, the American player retracted his words, saying that he could not understand why he came out with that statement. However, that remained, and a lot of tennis fans could not miss the chance to make fun of him after he lost as early as the first round of Wimbledon at the hands of a very good Jiri Vesely.
Here are some of the tweets.
Who was crazier?
Korda, or the people who actually thought he would make a deep run? https://t.co/p1HJY2vryS

🎾Jiri Vesely is a dangerous player to get in a slam, none the less Korda will be disappointed to go out R1. After claiming to be one of the favourites before the tournament; its an unfortunate turn of events! 🤞🏻 he stays fit and has more joy the rest of year#Wimbledon

Not to be for No. 22 seed Sebastian Korda, who described himself as an early favorite for #Wimbledon a few weeks ago.
Instead, it's Jiri Vesely moving into R2 with a 76(7) 46 62 63 win.
