Auntisaurus Aunt T-Rex Dinosaur T Rex Shirt
Instead of channeling that commitment into never-ending practices and constant international travel on the ITF junior circuit, Korda’s parents often limited him to an hour of tennis a day during his formative years. They hoped to preserve the health of his body as well as his childhood.
“I know from my experience that when you become a professional athlete, you change your train,” Petr says. “Suddenly, it’s a bullet train and you have a lot of responsibility, and so we wanted [our kids] to enjoy their childhood and their time together.”
Korda didn’t compete outside of Florida until he was 15, taking advantage of the considerable number of tournaments in his home state. He didn’t play an international event until he was 16, but still managed to win the Australian Open boys’ title and rise to the top junior ranking before his 18th birthday. At the professional level, he made slow but steady progress as his wiry body continued to mature, finishing 2018 ranked 524th in the world and 2019 ranked just inside the Top 250.
As Korda’s schedule intensified, Petr and Regina delegated some training and travel responsibilities to experienced coaches Dean Goldfine and Theodor Devoty. Korda’s fitness development has come courtesy of another proven veteran in Marek Vseticek, who has worked with Petr and other Czech greats, including Tomas Berdych and Petra Kvitova.
“During quarantine [in 2020], I was running 40 minutes a day,” Korda says. “The most I ran at one time was 15 miles. A lot of the guys now are in the gym doing weights, but my parents and Marek don’t believe in that. I want to be stable in my upper body, but be able to run and play all day.”
Given his focus on endurance, it is perhaps no surprise to hear that Korda’s favorite surface is clay. It’s an unusual admission from an American player, until you remember that he has European DNA. In addition to training extensively on the green version of the surface, he has spent lengthy periods of time in the Czech Republic training and visiting extended family.
When Korda is home, his dad serves as a built-in practice partner. Though they don’t play sets, he raves about his 53-year-old father’s skill level, and thoroughly enjoys the time they spend on court together. Their close relationship stems, in part, from the fact that the elder Korda is not interested in living vicariously through his child.
“I’ve done my share under the spotlight and I enjoyed it, but this is about Sebi,” Petr says. “I just want to be dad.”
