Sebastian Korda reached an ATP final on Saturday, but it was his post-match interview that truly had fans talking. At the Delray Beach Open, the American booked his first tour-level final since January 2025 with a straight-sets win over Flavio Cobolli. Minutes later, an unexpected slip of the tongue during the customary interview turned the moment into one of the most shared clips of the week. Korda beat Cobolli 7-6 (1), 6-1 in just 77 minutes, continuing a strong run in Florida. Yet it was what happened after match point that gave the crowd a second reason to cheer.

Sebastian Korda's interview slip steals the spotlight in Delray

As emcee Michelle Yu began asking about his perfect record against the Italian, one word came out wrong. “You’ve played Flavio three times and you’ve had s** – success all three times. Why is it….,” Yu said, trying to recover as laughter rippled through the stadium. Korda did not miss a beat. With a grin, he leaned into the moment and delivered a line that drew even louder applause. “He’s a good-looking guy, so you know…” The light-hearted exchange capped off an important week for Korda. The 25-year-old has quietly rebuilt momentum after a difficult start to the season. Speaking earlier this year to TENNIS.com before finishing runner-up at an ATP Challenger event in San Diego, he admitted that staying sharp after injuries has been a challenge. “I think especially with how many times I've been injured, you kind of lose that competitiveness when you're not really inside of a tournament. I think that's something that I'm lacking sometimes.” Those words feel distant now. Korda has since collected six tour-level wins, including a quarterfinal run in Dallas. In Delray Beach, he added two Top 20 victories to his résumé, including a win over Casper Ruud before taking care of Cobolli. The Bradenton, Florida native is chasing his first ATP title since lifting the Washington trophy in 2024. Delray Beach holds history for him as well. Five years ago, it was here that he played his first tour-level final. Now, he waits to see whether he will face fourth seed Learner Tien or fifth seed Tommy Paul on championship Sunday. For fans, Saturday offered the full package. A player rediscovering form, a return to a familiar stage and a viral moment that reminded everyone that even in high-stakes tennis, there is still room to laugh.
