Korda hits rock bottom by losing to the world No. 174

The former world number 15 has been caught in a negative spiral of injuries and inconsistency for years, leading to a fall outside the top 50. However, what happened at the 2026 Australian Open marks a turning point in his career as he was defeated in the first round by Michael Zheng, a 21-year-old ranked 174th in the world. The final result was 6-4 6-4 3-6 6-7 (0) 6-3.
