Sebastian Korda, 27th player in the world, had his watch stolen in the middle of the street in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin by two individuals who are still wanted. On Tuesday, the player still competed and won his match in the main draw of the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters.
He was then eliminated in the second round by the Italian Jannick Sinner, one of the favorites for this Masters 1000. On the Côte d'Azur, several thefts of luxury watches are reported each year, particularly in the west of the department, where around thirty watches have been stolen. Theft was not committed without violence since he was allegedly ‘thrown to the ground’ and held down by one of two protagonists while the other took care of snatching the watch from him. The two suspects were masked and helmeted, adds a police source. They then fled and have still not been found..
