Sebi Korda says he's one of the Wimbledon favorites

[ibbi]

"Yeah, I do. I'm very confident in myself on the grass court. I move really well and definitely have a game that not very many people have. I'm an aggressive player, I like to come to the net, I have good hands, and I definitely feel as if I'm one of the favourites at Wimbledon."

He forgot to include his spectacular aptitude for displays of mental midgetry.

I like how he speaks about himself in interviews. He has self belief in his game and what he can bring. That is the right attitude.

He is also great for American tennis, because he has he game for all surfaces IMO.

I really like his game but he has missed a lot of tournaments due to injuries. His team needs to focus on getting him physically stronger.

Hope his wrist injury has healed totally and does not flare up again. Korda is one of the very few entertaining shotmakers.

Agree. He’s amazing to watch when he is on. Such easy power.

 

[Lozo1016]

I certainly appreciate the confidence.

Favourite LMAO. He's packing his bags. #weakgens

[tennis_pro]

With "he's the favorites" he was refering to Djokovic?

 

[DSH]

He is part of the supposedly great breed of American men tennis.
What a disappointment!

 

[The Fedfather]

Stay humble or you might get humbled. A lesson to learn for Seb.

 

[Jonesy]

Be humble like Tiafoe.

 

[Hitman]

Sad times...

Stronk era !

Now Radek really should steal his girlfriend. I remember 2014 when Stepanek was 35 years old, years past his best, giving Novak a hell of a match here in one of the early rounds, and this is all his protege can muster?

 

[FeroBango]

Feel for the guy. This must sting.

Yesterday Korda was asked if he had game suited to grass. Sebi said:

"Yeah, I do. I'm very confident in myself on the grass court. I move really well and definitely have a game that not very many people have. I'm an aggressive player, I like to come to the net, I have good hands, and I definitely feel as if I'm one of the favourites at Wimbledon."

At least Sebi is showing some fighting spirit, unlike Casper or Thiem at RG just conceding the trophy before the first ball was struck.

Is Sebi to be commended for his confidence or is the American just delusional?

He was distracted by his coach smashing his girl, hard to blame him.

Vesely was always going to be a tricky first round opponent, but Korda ought to have played better.

 

[legcramp]

oof

 

[alogic]

Homie hasn't ever made a Grand Slam SF and thought he was a fav where only the big 4 had won at since 2003

[mattennis]

Favourite my ass...

You've never been to the final before (or even semi-finals) and you think you're a favorite to win the tournament?

When we talked highly of former fearless young players, we meant fearless on the court, not talking big before the tournament.

 

[AO13]

Nothing worse than false confidence.

 

[Tennfan123]

Lol. A very foolish thing to say.

 

[InsuranceMan]

Lmao

Without any great Rune meltdowns so far, this is probably the Next Next Gen highlight of the year so far, right? Hope it gets some decent competition

 

[TearTheRoofOff]

Like the finest wine known to humanity.

Alcramps still in the lead, unfortunately.

 

[ChrisJR3264]

Rune/Alcarez and Stefanos/meddy QF matchups would be phenomenal.

That is one person saying it at least.
