Sebastian Korda's girlfriend Ivana Nedved playfully complained about the Queen’s Club Championships using an old photo as her credential picture for the gate pass.

Nedved, daughter of former Czech soccer legend Pavel Nedved, is accompanying Korda to the ATP 500 tournament in London, where he reached the quarterfinals by defeating third seed Grigor Dimitrov 6-4, 3-6, 7-5 to advance to his fourth quarterfinal of the season.

Nedved, who has a Master's in International Marketing from King’s College, has been dating Korda since 2021 and often accompanies him to tournaments and supports him from the stands.

Nedved was not impressed with the Queen’s Club’s choice of her picture for the gate pass. She shared a picture of her pass and pointed out that the picture was from her Christmas photo dump on Instagram, where she posted a series of festive snaps with her family in December 2023.

The photo shows her wearing a red sweater and smiling at the camera. She implied that the management was lazy for using an outdated and casual photo of her instead of a more professional and suitable one.

Nedved captioned the picture - "credential pic upgrade straight from IG Christmas photo dump" with a crying emoji.

Korda will now take on Australian qualifier Rinky Hijikata in the quarterfinals on Friday. He is aiming to reach his first ATP 500 semifinal of the year and has a 21-14 win-loss record so far this season.

Sebastian Korda has partnered with Alex de Minaur for doubles, where they will face the second-seeded pair of Joe Salisbury and Rajeev Ram in the Round of 16 on June 20.

Sebastian Korda faced constant jeers and taunts from the crowd during his 7-6(6), 4-6, 6-4 victory over local favorite Flavio Cobolli in the second round of the 2024 Italian Open. Korda responded to the hecklers by blowing them a kiss and waving them farewell, which triggered more boos from the crowd.

The World No. 23 later explained on X (formerly Twitter) that they had been making inappropriate comments about his girlfriend Ivana Nedved, his family, and his coaching team throughout the match, which inadvertently fueled his motivation to win. However, Korda added that he had no hard feelings towards the Italian crowd and said that he still loved them.

"Shoutout to the fans behind me for talking inappropriately about my girlfriend, family and team for 2.5hrs. Thank you for the extra motivation 🙏💪 Still love yall 🇮🇹❤️," Korda wrote.

Sebastian Korda eventually lost 6-3, 6-4 to compatriot Taylor Fritz in the third round.
