Sebastian said he does not feel the pressure that comes with being the son of a Grand Slam winner. In an interview with German publication Tennis Magazin, the younger Korda was asked if it was a sour point to be compared to his father and he stated that it's of immense pride that someone with his father's accomplishments is part of the family. "No not at all. It's pretty cool to have a dad who has achieved something every kid wants to achieve. It is a great honor to have such a sporting personality in the family," Korda said. Petr Korda is a retired Czech tennis professional. He achieved a career-high ranking of No. 2 in 1998 after winning his maiden Major title at the Australian Open.
