Have you ever sent a direct message to somebody famous? Jiri Lehecka has!
The 21-year-old revealed who it was in the latest edition of ATP Uncovered’s ‘I Am’ series.
“I sent a message to Petra Kvitova when she won her first Wimbledon [in 2011],” said Lehecka, who was a fan of the lefty's game from a young age.
Kvitova first lifted the Wimbledon trophy 12 years ago. Little did the lefty or Lehecka know they would compete at this season’s United Cup together.
Now Lehecka has fans just like he once was. The Top 40 star hopes to follow in Kvitova's footsteps and achieve several career ambitions he revealed later in the video.
The Czech also shared more about his life away from tennis including what hockey team he supports, his favourite cheat meal and the music genre he enjoys.
Watch the full video above to find out what three tips he would give to young tennis players, his first tennis memory, how he would describe his off-court personality and more.
