Jiri Lehecka Form
Jiri Lehecka took some time to get going this year, reaching the final in Miami where he lost to Jannik Sinner.
The 24-year-old had a decent start on clay but couldn’t keep it going, ending with a first round exit to Pablo Carreno Busta at the French Open.
Lehecka was competitive on grass, losing to Ben Shelton in the Stuttgart semi-finals. He got to the fourth round at Wimbledon where he suffered a 4 sets defeat to Alexander Zverev.
The Czech recently split with long-time coach Michal Navratil and hired Frédéric Fontang. His first appearance following the switch came in Los Cabos where he threw away a commanding lead in his opening match, going down 1-6 6-3 6-4 to Coleman Wong.
