Korda storms to victory
Petr Korda, the 1998 Australian Open champion, produced another level of tennis to annihilate the 1991 Wimbledon champion, Michael Stich, in the final of the Honda Challenge at the Royal Albert Hall. In the process the delighted Czech realised a long held ambition of winning a title in Britain, and, more importantly, the title of what he describes as, ‘the little Wimbledon’.
