Nelly Korda stuns on the beach as she shares heartwarming 10-picture celebrations for her BFFL’s birthday

Published

on

Nelly Korda shared a series of pictures on her Instagram page to celebrate Klara Mrcela’s birthday on Monday. Korda and the former tennis player Klara Mrcela are famous for their friendship. Korda often calls Mrcela her BFFL (Best Friends For Life), and today is Klara Mrcela’s birthday. Being her BFFL, how can Nelly Korda stop herself from wishing her on her most important day?

Korda shared an Instagram post featuring both herself and Klara Mrcela, in which she looks back at their special memories spent together. In this special day carousel on Instagram, Nelly Korda shared a mixture of 10 photographs and videos that witnessed her special moments with Klara Mrcela throughout their lives. Korda captioned the post:

“Happy birthday to my BFFL @klaramrcela 💗 here’s to more adventures around the world 🌎.”

Most of these 10 pictures are from Paris and were probably taken when Nelly Korda landed on the green to defend her Olympic medal in August last year. At that time, Korda also shared a carousel in which most of the pictures were related to the Paris Olympics. But in one video from that post, Nelly Korda can again be seen with her BFFL where both of them are roaming around the streets of Paris.

But in one video from that post, Nelly Korda can again be seen with her BFFL where both of them are roaming around the streets of Paris.

In the current post shared by Korda, there are many stunning pictures featuring her and Klara Mrcela taken at some unknown places around the world. There are at least five pictures in which the sea is visible, and in most of these, Nelly Korda looks stunning in both beachwear and formal wear. Of course, in all these pictures, today’s birthday girl, Klara Mrcela, is also visible and looks like a stunner.

February 17th is a special day for Klara Mrcela, but it holds no less importance for Korda as well. This is because Korda won the ISPS Handa Women’s Australian Open on February 17th, 2019, and joined the ‘Korda Slam’.

A unique friendship between Nelly Korda and Klara Mrcela

Klara Mrcela, the former tennis player turned tennis coach, is married to American tennis player Michael Mmoh. Last year, when Mrcela and Mmoh were engaged, Korda took Mrcela with her to a getaway in Croatia. Just a few days before, Korda had finished the 2024 Amundi Evian Championship in France, and from there, she took time to meet her BFFL.

2024 was quite a spectacular season on the LPGA for Korda. She not only won seven tournaments last year but was also part of the winning USA team at the Solheim Cup. After such a successful year, Korda took Klara with her to Hawaii to spend a vacation in Kona. One of the pictures shared by Korda today in her Instagram carousel is from this trip.

Express Sport brings you the latest tennis news from the Paris Masters.

We’re reaching the business end of the Paris Masters, as eight players become four in the French capital. Jannik Sinner is the overwhelming favourite to lift the trophy after Carlos Alcaraz was dumped out by Cameron Norrie in the Spaniard’s opening match. Norrie was then beaten by Valentin Vacherot, whose amazing 10-match winning streak at Masters 1000 level came to an end when he lost to Felix Auger-Aliassime.

Canadian star Auger-Aliassime will face Alexander Bublik in the semis. Bublik defeated Alex de Minaur, who is among those to have already qualified for the year-end ATP Finals. Sinner is through to his first Paris Masters semi-final after beating Ben Shelton. He’ll face defending champion Alexander Zverev, who survived a tough match against Daniil Medvedev.

Novak Djokovic is not involved in the Paris Masters, having decided to skip the event for the second year in a row, but he has learned his fate in the draw of next week’s ATP 250 in Athens. And over in Riyadh, the WTA Finals are about to get underway.

Published

Tennis fans across the globe are rallying behind Holger Rune, after the Danish star shared an emotional but determined message following his devastating Achilles injury that abruptly ended his 2025 season.

The 22-year-old, known for his fierce competitiveness and electric energy on court, was forced to retire during the Stockholm Open semifinals after collapsing in pain mid-match against Ugo Humbert. Moments later, Rune confirmed what fans feared — a torn Achilles tendon, one of the toughest injuries any athlete can face.

But instead of silence or despair, Rune chose to face the challenge head-on. In a heartfelt message posted to social media, he wrote:

“It’s gonna be a while before I can step on court again… It’s tough. I had so much joy out there, and it’s unbearable to think I won’t feel that energy for some time. But I’ll be back — stronger, wiser, and more grateful than ever.”

His words, filled with pain yet overflowing with resilience, immediately resonated with millions. Fellow players, coaches, and fans flooded his post with encouragement, calling him a “fighter”, a “true champion in spirit”, and the embodiment of perseverance.

Rune has already undergone successful surgery and, in a move that stunned many, shared photos of himself training from a seated position — refusing to let recovery stop his momentum. The images showed a young man focused not on what he’s lost, but on what he can rebuild.

Even as he faces months of rehabilitation, Rune’s story has become a symbol of mental toughness and grace under pressure. His family and team remain by his side, reminding the tennis world that this setback doesn’t define his career — it refines it.

As one fan beautifully wrote:

“He may be off the court, but his spirit is still winning matches.”

For Holger Rune, this isn’t the end of a season — it’s the start of a comeback story that could inspire a generation. 💥🔥
