Last week, Jiří Veselý dropped out of the top 100 and Czech men’s tennis was left without representation among the elite for the first time in two years. Lehečka changed this with an unexpected campaign in Rotterdam, where he won three matches during his ATP Tour debut, including a duel with world twelve Denis Shapovalov from Canada, and in the semifinals he also tormented the world’s fourth Greek player Stefanos Tsitsipas. After his success, Veselý is 121st in the Czech Republic, with 115th Tomáš Macháč in front of him
