The Sport family is at home in the Lehecka family. The tennis player is the son of two athletes. His mother competed in athletics while his father is a former swimmer. His passion for tennis was sparked by his grandmother, a former tennis player, who introduced him to the courts when he was just three years old. After that, Jiri’s talent did the rest. Jiri Lehecka’s girlfriend has been dating Viktorie Wojcikova for years, a young tennis player who was very successful at university level. The 23-year-old Czech is considered a real talent, but has not yet broken through into the ATP rankings. Viktorie is not only known as a talented player, but also as a committed student: she is enrolled in the psychology department at Northwestern State University. The passion for engines Lehecka is a big engine lover: “I love cars, anything with four wheels and more than 500 horsepower is just right for me,” he has said in the past. A love that has arisen in recent years for the tennis player is that, when he has some free time, he spends a lot of time with his cars and often rides his bike into nature to relax.
