So, what racquet does Sebastian Korda use? Korda is sponsored by Wilson and used to use their Wilson Blade 98 with a rare 18/19 string pattern, but in 2026 he has switched to the new Wilson spin racquet called the “Python” (the name will be something else). While Khachanov uses this racquet with an 18/20 string pattern, Korda has embraced the more open 16/20 pattern.

Korda used to string his Blades with Luxilon Alu Power at 50 lbs mains and 47 lbs crosses, but I would imagine he might have gone up a tad to compensate for the extra power and lift that the P98 brings.

According to “dl32” on the TW Forums, who owns his old racquets, his specifications on the Blades were 340g strung and 336 SW and I would assume they are similar for the P98.
