Sebastian Korda's Tennis Gear – What Does He Use?

Son of Grand Slam champion Petr Korda, he is the heir to his father’s throne. But the son is playing for the American flag and not for the Czech Republic.

He won his only ATP250 title in 2021 at the Emilia-Romagna Open. Can Sebastian improve to win more titles and climb to the Top 10?

On the court, Sebastian Korda uses this gear:

Racquet: Wilson H22 18×20 (Wilson Blade 98 v8 for the paintjob)
Strings: Luxilon Alu Power in crosses and Wilson Natural Gut in mains

Shoes: Adidas Barricade
Bag: Wilson Super Tour 15 Pack

Sebastian Korda’s Racquet

It is a popular model endorsed by many advanced and pro tennis players, who can afford racquets for more than $300-$400.

The low stiffness score along with the high strung weight indicates a good balance between smashing power and a plush feel.

Sebastian Korda’s Tennis Shoes?

Sebastian Korda plays with the Adidas Barricade.

They are one of the most stable and comfortable Adidas tennis shoes.

The upper is made from 50% high-performance recycled materials called Primegreen. It is flexible and comes with a controversial new lacing system that helps the tongue to mold the shape of your feet.
The midsole of the shoe comes with BOUNCE lightweight cushioning, for comfort and great shock absorption.
A TPU midfoot shank keeps every step comfortable and stable, and gives you torsional stability and prevention from foot injuries.

The outsole is crafted from Adiwear rubber compound for durability and great traction. A modified herringbone pattern helps to resist the abrasion and to facilitate the sliding on hard courts, which is the standard nowadays.

Overall, Sebastian’s shoes are still a good option, especially for players with wider feet. They are great for stability and comfort and a bit lighter (14.2oz) than the previous Barricades.
