Jiri Lehecka won against Argentinian Francisco Cerundolo, the No 18 seed, 6-2, 6-2, 6-2 to reach the third round of Wimbledon at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London on Thursday.
Lehecka, ranked No 37, will face the winner of the match between Canadian Milos Raonic and American Tommy Paul, the No 16 seed, next.
The Czech talent has been seen practicing with former Wimbledon runner-up Tomas Berdych this week at Aorangi Park. Apparently, they have been productive sessions.
Cool to see Tomas Berdych hitting on Aorangi with his player Jiri Lehecka. Strokes still so smooth and clean.
