OLYMPIA FIELDS, Illinois (Reuters) - Jessica and Nelly Korda are friends as well as competitors on the LPGA Tour, where the sisters are showing similar proficiency with a golf club as their father Petr demonstrated wielding a tennis racket.

With Wimbledon in full swing, former world number two Petr is at the All England Club to support his son Sebastian in the Wimbledon boys’ competition, while the Korda sisters keep each other company and keep up the family passion for sports on the golf circuit.
