Stepanek shares intricate details on coaching Sebastian Korda

Sebastian, the son of former tennis player Petr Korda, has been making waves in the tennis world in recent years. He reached his first quarterfinal in a Grand Slam tournament at the Australian Open this year. It was a dream run for the young American star, who had never previously been past the second round of a major tournament. According to EuroSport, the tennis coach shared, “I can say I have a little bit of Korda’s DNA – tennis DNA – in myself. I am very close to the family. I saw Sebi growing up from a child to the man he is today, and tomorrow he is in his first quarter-finals at a Grand Slam.”

Stepanek’s relationship with the Korda family goes back to his playing days. Petr Korda was Stepanek’s coach during his career, and it was under his guidance that Stepanek reached a career-high ranking of 8th in the world. Stepanek has always spoken highly of Petr, praising his coaching abilities and the impact he had on his career.

Stepanek believes that Korda’s success at the Australian Open is a testament to the hard work and dedication that both he and Korda have put into their training. However, he also believes that there is something else that has helped Korda to reach his full potential – his DNA. Stepanek believes that Korda’s DNA is what sets him apart from other players, as he has a unique combination of physical and mental attributes, according to him.
