Jiri Lehecka
Jiri Lehecka is the Czech Republic’s leading man and one of the most exciting talents on the ATP Tour. Born in Prague on 8 November 2001, Lehecka reached his first ATP Masters 1000 final at the 2026 Miami Open, where he held serve through five matches without facing a break point before losing to Jannik Sinner. A two-time tour titlist (Adelaide 2024, Brisbane 2025) with a powerful serve and aggressive baseline game, Lehecka has climbed to the edge of the top 10 and is widely tipped as a future top-10 contender.

Playing Style & Strengths
Lehecka is an aggressive baseliner with a powerful serve that anchors his game. His delivery held up against the best in the world during his Miami run, and his ability to win free points on serve gives him a solid platform to be aggressive from the baseline. He hits clean, flat groundstrokes from both wings and looks to take the ball early to rush opponents.
His movement and court coverage have improved significantly, and he is increasingly comfortable in extended rallies. Still in his early twenties, he continues to develop, with his ceiling considered high by coaches and analysts on tour.
