Portuguese Ferreira Silva, Serbian Milojevič and most recently Slovak representative Horanský. All tennis players from the second hundred rankings, who played against the Czech Davis Cup representative in the roles of clear favorites. But after the match, everyone congratulated the native of Mladá Boleslav on their progress.
It was a particularly painful experience for the Slovak national team member, who Lehečka knocked off the court in just 47 minutes. Twenty-seven-year-old Horanský beat Lukáš Rosol and 112th Japanese player Taro Daniel in the previous two matches in Prostějov.

However, he had no chance against the Czech tennis player. In the first set, he kept his hand from four options only once, the same he “succeeded” in the second and left with a debacle twice 1: 6.
For Lehečka, the semi-final participation in Prostějov means that the ranking will move roughly to the 402nd place. And that doesn’t have to end there. If he copes with Polish tennis player Kamil Majchrzak, his position will be even better by another 70 positions.
In the event of a victory in the entire tournament, Leheček’s name would appear around the 280th place, which would be a shift of almost another 280 positions.
