Jiri Lehecka has sports star girlfriend who broke down in tears at Queen's

Jiri Lehecka booked his place in the Queen's final after getting the better of Jack Draper in the semis on Saturday. And his girlfriend broke down in tears in the stands following his triumph over the Briton.

Lehecka has enjoyed a sensational run of form in West Kensington and hadn't dropped a set ahead of his showdown with Draper. The pair exchanged the opening two sets as the match went the distance, with Lehecka ultimately coming out on top to set up a showpiece encounter with reigning Wimbledon champion Carlos Alcaraz. And the Czech ace will once again be cheered on by his girlfriend Lucka Neumannova.

The couple have reportedly been dating since last year, with Lucka travelling to Melbourne to support her boyfriend at the Australian Open in January as he progressed to the fourth round.

She posted a picture to Instagram of herself standing next to Andy Murray Arena at Queen's earlier this week and then broke down in tears live on television after Lehecka had completed the job against Draper.

Lehecka won the match 6-4, 4-6, 7-5 before celebrating by shouting at the top of his voice in a show of pure emotion.

And after the 23-year-old had shaken hands with his opponent at the net, the BBC cameras diverted their attention to Lucka, who was in floods of tears in the stands. She was applauding her partner's performance and was clearly overwhelmed by his astonishing efforts.

Lucka, who has over 129,000 followers on Instagram, has her very own sports career to think about as she is a track and field athlete.

She specialises in the 400m and 800m and has posted a series of images of herself at various athletics tracks across Europe in recent months.

Her official bio page on the World Athletics website confirms she posted an 800m time of 2.19.21m earlier this year after she clocked a time of 2.13.78m a year ago.

Lehecka will start as the second favourite against Alcaraz, who has impressed on the grass and reached the Queen's final following a routine 6-4, 6-4 victory over compatriot Roberto Bautista Agut on Saturday.

And after getting the better of Draper in the London heat, Lehecka explained: "It means a lot, you don't beat a player like Jack every day.

"I want to say thanks to [the crowd] for making it fair. I know your favourite didn't win today, but I really appreciate you being fair and clapping when I hit a few good [shots]."
