Sebastian Korda took the tennis realm by surprise with his promising performance at the Australian Open. However, after that, we saw his absence during the clay-court season, and now, as he gears up for Wimbledon, he is pretty confident about his performance. It won’t be an overstatement to say that Korda is looking forward to cherishing his time at SW19, as he was joking about his physical fitness.
The son of Czech tennis legend Petr Korda is aiming to surpass his performance at the Australian Open. With his form taking an upturn and new development in his physical form, Korda is being confidently cheeky before his Wimbledon swing as one of the Wimbledon favorites.

The American player started off the year with an astounding run at the Adelaide International where he reached the finals. After that, the quarter-final Australian Open run boosted his confidence. However, an underwhelming performance during the clay-court season did not mellow his confidence. He is back in full swing for his Wimbledon run. After reaching the semi-finals of Queen’s, now he is gearing up for SW19.
In a recent interview with INews, he gave an update about his physical form. He stated, “My b**t is a little bigger, I?m 7 kg heavier.” However, that has not slowed him down. Boasting about his form, he added, “But I?m faster than ever.”
Along with that, he also feels that despite having a tough draw, he is one of Wimbledon’s favorites. He added, “I definitely do consider myself one of the top grass-court players.”
Now, it remains to be seen if he can manifest his vision into reality or not, because Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz are undoubtedly aiming to get their share of glory at SW19.
