That Korda boy, he’s somethin’ else, I tell ya. Heard he’s gonna be a big shot. Korda prediction, they call it. Sounds fancy, huh? Well, I seen him play on that TV box. He hits that little ball real good. He’s got a good whack, that’s for sure.
They say he’s number 15 now. What that means, I ain’t too sure, but it sounds high up, like a bird in the sky. He’s won some things, couple of singles and one of them doubles. I don’t rightly know the difference, but winning is winning. My old man used to say, “Win some, lose some, but always try your best.” This Korda, he tries his best, I reckon.
He’s got this fella, Radek somethin’, coachin’ him. And another one with the same name. Two coaches! Must be important, this Korda. Radek, they say he was good too, once upon a time. Top 10, they say. Like climbin’ to the top of the old oak tree in my backyard. High up there.
- He hits that ball real hard, this Korda.
- They say he hit 24 winners.
- That’s a lot of winning, I guess.
He’s playin’ against some other fellas, Kokkinakis, Zverev. Lots of names I can’t hardly say. But this Korda, they say he’s gonna win. 70% chance, they say. Like sayin’ it’s gonna rain 7 out of 10 days. Means it’s gonna rain a lot, I suppose. He is gonna win a lot then.
They say this is the first time he’s playin’ against this Zverev. Like two roosters in the pen, seein’ who’s boss. This Korda prediction, it’s all about who’s gonna win these games. It’s all a big deal in that tennis world.
He’s gonna be in Paris, too. Paris! That’s far away, over the big water. They got a big tower there, I seen it in a picture once. He’s gonna play there, in a big draw. Whatever that means. They make predictions about who he will play with. All these fancy words.
They got him favored, too. Some numbers, -410, +290. I don’t understand those numbers, but it means he’s supposed to win. Like bettin’ on the fastest horse at the county fair. They think he is the best. It is a sure Korda prediction.
They got computers now, they say, that can tell the future. They used one of them to say what’s gonna happen with Korda. They say it’s like magic. They even know how many times he will win. It is crazy what they do now.
He’s playin’ on Wednesday. Against some other fella. They got all these matches lined up. Like plantin’ seeds in the spring, gotta do it in order. And they watch it on TV, all over the world. My grandson, he watches it all the time. He likes this Korda too.
This Korda, he’s a young fella, but he’s got a lot of folks watchin’ him. Korda prediction this, Korda prediction that. He must be feelin’ the pressure. Like when I gotta make a pie for the church social, everyone’s expectin’ it to be good. This boy, he is always playing and winning. I hope he can do it.
- They say he’s got a good chance to win.
- He’s playing all over the place.
- Even in Paris!
Well, I don’t know much about this tennis, but I hope this Korda boy does alright. He seems like a good kid. Workin’ hard, playin’ hard. That’s all you can do, really. Just like my old man used to say, “Give it your best shot.” And that’s what this Korda’s doin’. He’s givin’ it his best shot. Good luck to him I say. I hope he wins and all the Korda prediction will be right.
