吉里·莱赫卡找到新教练：签下丰唐带来的效果立竿见影

Jiri Lehecka has already found the man who will guide his career in a decisive stage. The Czech tennis player has announced the signing of Frédéric Fontang as his new coach, just a few weeks after both he and Félix Auger-Aliassime made public their respective separations from their coaches. Few could have imagined that the experienced French coach would take so little time to start a new project, and moreover, with one of the most promising players on the circuit.

The news has been confirmed by Lehecka himself through his social networks, where he welcomed Fontang with a picture of both in Los Cabos and a message full of excitement: "Welcome to the team, Fred. Let's go!"

A prestigious coach to boost the final leap

Throughout much of Auger-Aliassime's career, Fontang was a key figure in the development of the Canadian, accompanying him in some of the best moments of his career and helping him establish himself among the best players in the world. Their separation was surprising a few weeks ago, but even more surprising is how quickly he has found a new destination.

This new challenge will be to enhance Lehecka who is experiencing the best moment of his career. At 24 years old, the Czech is ranked number 12 in the ATP ranking and is on the brink of the coveted top-10, a barrier that seems to be getting closer.

Beyond the ranking, the feeling on the circuit is that Lehecka still has a significant room for improvement. His power from the baseline, his ability to dominate with his serve, and a constant evolution on all surfaces suggest that he has not yet reached his competitive peak.

Fontang's inclusion seems to precisely respond to that ambition. The goal will not only be to enter the top ten in the world, but to take a step further to become a regular contender for the major titles on the calendar. If the partnership functions as both parties hope, Lehecka could find in the French coach the missing piece to make the final leap towards the elite of world tennis.
