He played some phenomenal 5 set matches against Pete (grand slam cup : won, Wimbledon :lost , Us Open : won). Brilliant one handed backhand, one of the very best.
@@paulshowers8688 he came back from a break down in set 5. the Wimbledon match was compelling and very similar to the grand slam cup score, only pete was just that bit better
to me Korda was one of the most spectacular players I've ever seen. Too bad this video does not include an incredible exchange with Stich I've seen many years ago (unfortunately I cannot recall the details)
@@jchan810 Not so much "more powerful and accurate" (Petr could, and did, happily blaze those backhands all day), as it was that Stan the Man hits his backhand with much more spin and margin for error -- P. Korda, a strict flat-ball hitter, was as renowned for his onslaught of unforced errors, as he was for his incredible lasers in all directions: when he was on, he was incredible, but when off ...
I always liked Korda....great player...thats the thing...Pete had to compete with Korda, Ivanisevic, Stich, Becker, Edberg, Muster, Rios, Krajicek, Rafter, Henman, Lendl, McEnroe, Connors, Kuerten, Rusedski, Norman, Bjorkman, Chang, Philipoussis, Larson, Santoro, Enquist, Bruguera, Corretja, Agassi, Martin, Kafelnikov....all diferent style players.....now you have Federer competeing with the same style push players, from the baseline, I mean Nadal, Djokovic and the rest all play the SAME!
@Preston too bad it wasn’t a positive at the AusO or you would have a valid point... not to mention he had the talent to final at RG years before. Ffs look at all the players back then getting cought Rusedski, Uhlirach, Coria, Chela, Novacek, Wilander, Canas, Agassi... tennis is and was dirty.
@@teerowel Yes: whether you believe the allegations against P.Korda or not, poor Marcelo Rios choked away the '98 AOpen final HARD (Rios did beat Korda solidly and easily later that year in '98 Indian Wells, winning 6-4, 6-2: their overall H2H was 4-4).
@joeterfqdwgvqwgw I mean, that's kinda what we have right now with Sebi Korda (Petr's son, who has a 2HBH), but this age is a baseline one (with lots of spin), and it's not too easy (after a great start to this year, Sebi got stalled with a number of injuries and false starts, but still ended the year at a career-high, and played well in the last quarter of this year).
Terrible run passing shots, great technique and fast reach State Fisic. Great tennis player he was. For the Chilean was some dust in the eye for that Australian Final 1998 Title...
Maybe if Rios could keep a ball in play it would have been different? You prob don’t know that was Korda’s SECOND appearance in a Major final? Rios played like a little bi tch could have put anyone on the other side his play wasn’t deserving of a Major. Korda didn’t test positive at the AusO either.
@@skylaxxIt was just a bad joke for fun. Good point for you : It 's right , he probably had less luck than others or someone who reported him.... . He remains an extraordinary player, personally you give me nandralone I would not return a single one of his balls! lol
Rino Tommasi disse di Petr Korda : " OGNI TANTO SEMBRA ROD LEVER RINATO " mai frase fu' più appropriata peccato che la sua carriera sia stata breve per problemi legati alla condotta extratennistica.
@@mattlee7463 it’s a banned substance, no matter YOUR view it wasn’t supposed to be in his system, he knew that and got caught. Cheater and a liar... doped to the “Giles”.
The guy in thumbnail looks somewhat like the crying troll 8-yr old Niklas who is detested severely for his antics, which includes crying after losing a point and throwing racquets.
Always loved his backhand and general style of play. What a unique player.
Holy crap...love Korda! Often forgotten player. Thanks for highlighting him!
he must be forgotten, a player that has no honor beacuse of his cheating
one of the cleanest and smoothest ball strikers on tour. Scary good when he was "on"
Beautiful backhand & passing shots
Korda had that clean and flat ground shots, he was able to do all sort of damage from any part of the court and also an excellent doubles player.
Let's see if Sebastian Korda can match his dad's success
If he has the right pills😂They all play the same monoton and stupid style.
He’s already done better at Roland Garros than any other American in a while
@@Marc443 Marcelo Ríos was robbed of that AO title

Petr, vynikající tenista a bojovník. Jeden z nejlepších hráčů světa.
the guy gave fits to Pete and beat and competed with the best...so underrated...consistency was his biggest issue....incredible talent
Absolutely brilliant technique..
Super joueur, méga talentueux et technique.
Korda was a great athlete and a superb tennis player.

Beating Pete in the US Open is pure cred

That's the BEST BACKHAND in the tennis history. PERIOD!
Better than Wawrinka's backhand??
Yes
@@alessandroserrao9422 you can't be serious. Wawrinka's backhand is more powerful and accurate

@@tungt88 John Macenroe said that Wawrinka has the most powerful one hand backhand he has ever seen and I agree with him.
He was really very good . Not many people would mention excellent east European players from the past, except probably everybody knows Navratilova
wow.magic Peter and Völkl C10,legendary
Petr Korda got me onto using them back then, still use them - he was an amazing player.
I love tennis
Wow, Sebi certainly is the spitting image of his dad
Beautiful backhand!
One of the most beautiful of all time
Era un tremendo jugadorazo "Pajaro loco" Korda.
Con un reves que era delicioso.
He reminded me of laver in some respects
Cool comparison. Rocket came forward a ton.
Petr Korda top Tennis!
Nice to see Atp giving credit where it is due, unlike the Wta side where PC issues looms over all the marketing decisions. Korda was a good player.
Thanks tennis tv
His daughter Jessica Korda just won the Diamond Resorts Tournament of Champions
today. Funny you should release this now, Tennis TV. :)
His other daughter one has three wins on the lpga and is the world number one
Song name in the beginning is "Vanilla coast"
Legend
I love how almost all shots are passing shots😂
I think 2018 is TWENTY years after Korda's only slam title
I always liked Korda....great player...thats the thing...Pete had to compete with Korda, Ivanisevic, Stich, Becker, Edberg, Muster, Rios, Krajicek, Rafter, Henman, Lendl, McEnroe, Connors, Kuerten, Rusedski, Norman, Bjorkman, Chang, Philipoussis, Larson, Santoro, Enquist, Bruguera, Corretja, Agassi, Martin, Kafelnikov....all diferent style players.....now you have Federer competeing with the same style push players, from the baseline, I mean Nadal, Djokovic and the rest all play the SAME!
Sampras in my opinion is the best player ive seen. He competed in the toughest era ive seen. No question about it.
My favourite player is Alexander zverev and rafael nadal
My favorite player is Novak djokovic and Andrei Rublev.
@@sebucwerd second guy is fun
Zverev? You are nearly alone😂
nobody cares

He owned Rios in the Aussie Open final!!

He defeated Rios at final
Really awesome
Rios had a really bad match. Korda was on fire, but anybody could have beaten Rios on that day.
@@shaadydog1 Wilander and Agassi got caught for recreational drug use, like Hingis and Gasquet later.
Such a underrated top 10 player and second best ever Czech player until Berdych although Rios should have his GS because of his cheating
Rios played terribly in that final though
True, except Ivan Lendl was the best Czech player
@@stevencasperson6072 he said that Berdych became the second best Czech player.

6:27 *20 years after
Thanks William Charles Schneider
This video tested positive for Nandrolone
Six months after he beat Rios in AO final.
And Andre came out and said tour knew he was doing meth and let it ride.
Back When tennis was a game of beauty and grace , not today's slug fest with two hands and everybody plays the same.
1:24 "...han e jävligt bra den här killen."
He had banana before nadal
I’m pretty sure his son will be better
Nice backhand!
Wow
Kordas talent in a more athletic body, would have won a lot of grand slams
@joeterfqdwgvqwgw I mean, that's kinda what we have right now with Sebi Korda (Petr's son, who has a 2HBH), but this age is a baseline one (with lots of spin), and it's not too easy (after a great start to this year, Sebi got stalled with a number of injuries and false starts, but still ended the year at a career-high, and played well in the last quarter of this year).
He actually did give Sampras problems....
Who is the opponent, 0:26,1:29,2:39,3:36,4:20? Magnus Larsson?

Why don't you say the truth? Korda was finally disqualified of the tittle of the AO 98 due doping..

Love how Peter Korda makes Pete Sampras look foolish. Robert at 67.
16 seconds ago yayay
Getting caught doping, a bright shiny moment of his career.
I will be posting a tennis tip on my channel that may give you the secret to kordas backhand....
It's hard to respect an athlete that win by cheating, there's no honor in that legacy, unfortunately
Well, Agassi was doping to, and yet everyone liked him
Sharapova

A drug cheat doesn't deserve a tribute like this.
Make this the top comment
First view
wtf

Drugs
Positive doping
His best shot was anabolic steroids
Why do they pay a tribute to a man that cheated in order to achieve things in his career
because no drugs give you THAT BEST BACHAND in the tennis history!
Naughty cheat
Cheater
This video is overflowing with nandrolone 💉
