In the YouTube video titled “It’s pretty cool to finally put my name up there as well” by Sebastian Korda, the tennis player emotionally recounts winning the title at a tournament where his father had previously played numerous times. Korda shares that putting his name on the board next to his father’s brought significant emotion, causing him to cry during the moment.

Amidst this achievement, Korda’s parents were dealing with a hurricane, and his sister was preparing for the Olympics. Gratitude towards his parents for allowing him and his siblings to discover their passions led Korda to tennis, ultimately resulting in this triumphant moment.
