Nelly Korda reveals who is the better tennis player between her and sister Jessica

Nelly Korda and her sister Jessica are both professional golfers. They have both competed on the LPGA Tour, though Nelly has 20 wins to Jessica's six. Nelly has captured two Majors as well.

That is not the only sport they play, though, as they are both frequent tennis players. While Nelly may have the claim to fame in golf, one fan wanted to know which one can say the same for tennis.

In a recent Instagram Q&A, a fan wanted to know which sister was better at tennis, and Jessica said:

"I don't know why I'm even asking you this question. Answer properly, not the way that I know that you want to!"

Nelly smiled and said:

"Well, I think we're both pretty bad. But, I would say, between you and me, I'm a better tennis player."

An exasperated Jessica took back the mic and watched Nelly run off gleefully after delivering the answer her sister almost undoubtedly did not want to hear. Clearly, the two sisters are not on the same page as far as who is superior on the tennis court, though Nelly did acknowledge that neither had exceptional skill in that field.

Nelly Korda's partner withdraws from mixed-gender event

Nelly Korda played with Tony Finau at the Grant Thornton Invitational last year. The duo tied for fourth after a brilliant -23 shooting performance. They were three strokes shy of the winners, Lydia Ko and Jason Day.

This year, Korda is having to get a new, last-minute playing partner as Finau has had to withdraw. Via the PGA Tour, he said:

"I am disappointed to have to withdraw from the Grant Thornton Invitational as I continue to recover from my knee injury. Playing with Nelly in 2023 was one of the highlights of my year. I look forward to cheering her on this week and am thankful for her support and understanding as I work on getting fully healthy."

He added:

"I'm grateful to my partner in Grant Thornton for their support and for diversifying our game by bringing the PGA Tour and LPGA together in Naples. I look forward to returning to competition in the new year!"

Nelly Korda will now play with Daniel Berger. Finau also withdrew from the Hero World Challenge, which Scottie Scheffler just won, for the same reason. In his most recent outing, Berger finished in second place for his best performance of 2024.

Finau has said he wants to return and would likely be paired up with Korda again in 2025. However, it remains to be seen what will happen with Korda and Berger this weekend, so Finau may be in need of a different partner when he comes back.
