Jiri Vesely

First-Time Winner: Jiri Vesely – Auckland

Czech rising star Jiri Vesely began his ascent up the Emirates ATP Rankings in the second week of the 2015 season, capturing his maiden ATP World Tour title with a 6-3, 6-2 rout of Adrian Mannarino in Auckland. Vesely, who peaked at World No. 35 in late April, became the first Czech to win in the New Zealand capital since Jiri Novak in 1996.

“It feels amazing to be part of the ATP champions,” said Vesely. “It’s not something that everyone is [able] to achieve, so I’m very grateful for that. It’s a great start for me… I can really see that it’s possible to play with the best guys and I think that’s something very important for me for the future.”

The qualifier won seven matches in eight days, upsetting 13th-ranked Ernests Gulbis and World No. 16 Kevin Anderson en route to the championship. Vesely would reach a second final on the European clay of Bucharest three months later and equaled his best Grand Slam result in advancing to the third round of the US Open. On the ATP Challenger Tour, the 22 year old successfully defended his crown on home soil in Prostejov.

Vesely's Dream Comes True In Monte-Carlo

Spoiler:

Czech reflects on Djokovic upset

“It's the dream of every single player to beat a World No. 1,” Jiri Vesely said after downing Novak Djokovic in the second round of the Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters on Wednesday. “For me, it's definitely a dream come true.

“When I went on court, I was hoping to win a game or to do well. But I really had no idea that I really would be able to beat Novak today. I still can't believe it happened.”

For the Czech left-hander, who held the World No. 1 rank as a junior, the win over Djokovic was a pleasant surprise considering his disappointing early season results.

“I've struggled the last few months,” noted Vesely, who did not manage to win consecutive matches in 2016 until he reached the semi-finals in Marrakech last week (l. to Coric). Adversity was never far away once Vesely arrived in Monte-Carlo. In his opening match, the 22 year old found himself on the brink of elimination before rallying against Teimuraz Gabashvili for a 7-5 deciding-set win.

“I was actually 3-6, 3-5 down. It could have gone badly yesterday and nothing would have happened today. I'm just amazing happy about the way I fought today and the way I finished the match.”

The experience proved helpful to Vesely, No. 55 in the Emirates ATP Rankings, on Wednesday. After seeing Djokovic even the match at one set-all, he took the time to refocus before holding on for the biggest win of his career. “I had completely lost my concentration [after the second set]. Novak stopped missing and I made a lot of easy mistakes.

“I said to myself: ‘Okay, now you really have work for every single ball because otherwise it's going to end badly.’ It definitely helped me when I broke him for 1-0.”

With the lead secured, Vesely swung freely and mustered his best shots of the match.

“[Serving at 5-4] was definitely a special game. After he won the first point, I knew I had to win the next one, or I’d be in trouble at 0-30. I played a drop shot after a long rally. It was probably the only shot I could have played.

“My serve helped me get to 30-15. Then I just told myself to go for it and to enjoy the moment.”

Vesely Shocks Djokovic In Monte-Carlo

Spoiler:

Czech earns first win against Top 10 player
World No. 55 Jiri Vesely stunned World No. 1 and defending champion Novak Djokovic 6-4, 2-6, 6-4 in the second round of the Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters on Wednesday.
It is just Djokovic’s second loss of the season and his earliest defeat on the ATP World Tour in three years, since losing in the second round of the Mutua Madrid Open against Grigor Dimitrov. The loss also marks Djokovic's first defeat to a player outside the Top 50 since his 2010 loss against then World No. 74 Xavier Malisse (Queen's).
Barring a quarter-finals exit in Dubai, where he was forced to retire against Feliciano Lopez due to an eye problem, Djokovic had won nine of his past 10 tournaments, dating back to a runner-up finish in Cincinnati (l. to Federer) in August 2015.
"Obviously it's not easy to lose the match in terms of accepting it right after exiting the court. But I have to congratulate my opponent," Djokovic said. "I think he played very solid. He was serving very big. He was playing tactically good and aggressive."
Vesely held his nerve for a stunning victory in two hours and six minutes. The Czech was denied a match point as Djokovic held serve in the ninth game to force Vesely to serve it out. And the 22 year old did not falter. He served out the victory to 15 in the following game to rapturous applause on Court Ranier III.
"I'm just very, very happy," Vesely said. "When I went on court, I had completely different thinking, like, 'I hope to win a game,' or 'I really hope to do well.' But I really had no idea that I really would be able to beat Novak today."

Djokovic had seemed poised to stage a fightback after reeling off four straight games from 2-2 in the second set to level the match. But Vesely regrouped in the decider to claim a memorable victory. "I'm just... happy the way I fought today and the way I finished the match," Vesely said.
The Czech was the inaugural Star of Tomorrow presented by Emirates in 2013 and went on to reach two ATP World Tour finals in 2015, winning his first title as a qualifier in Auckland (d. Mannarino) and finishing runner-up in Bucharest (l. to Garcia-Lopez).
The left-hander came into Monte-Carlo on the back of a semi-finals showing in Marrakech, where he fell to Borna Coric. It marked a welcome return to form for Vesely, who had won just one match in seven tournaments at the start of the season.
"I hope (today) will give me a lot of confidence, a lot of self-belief. I think I've struggled pretty much the last few months where I really didn't play good tennis," he said.
As he bids to reach his first ATP World Tour Masters 1000 quarter-finals, Vesely goes on to face Gael Monfils, who booked his spot in the third round on Wednesday by defeating Paolo Lorenzi 6-2, 6-4.
The 13th-seeded Frenchman advanced in 73 minutes on Court Ranier III, breaking his opponent four times in the pair’s second meeting (Monfils leads 2-0). It marked Monfils’ 17th win of the season.
The 29 year old is coming off back-to-back quarter-finals showings in Indian Wells (l. to Raonic) and Miami (l. to Nishikori) and also reached the final eight at the Australian Open (l. to Raonic) as well as finishing runner-up in Rotterdam (l. to Klizan).
Monfils was a semi-finalist at the Monte-Carlo Country Club last year (l. to Berdych).
David Goffin battled past Fernando Verdasco in two hours and 30 minutes, prevailing 7-6(2), 2-6, 7-6(1). The third set featured six service breaks and saw Goffin save match point as Verdasco served for the contest at 5-4, before eventually claiming victory in the tie-break.
"It was a difficult match," said Goffin. "He was playing well. He was into his match. He was solid. It was a bit complicated for me. Several times I went out of the match. The conditions were tough for me. But I was lucky that I won it. I hope I'll do better tomorrow. I'm happy that I won.
"I was able to keep fighting until the end of the third set," continued Goffin, who just reached successive Masters 1000 semi-finals in Indian Wells and Miami. "Even if I was down a break several times, I was able to fight back. It paid off."

Vesely Upsets Thiem At Wimbledon

Spoiler:

Gasquet, Ramos-Vinolas also advance on Thursday

Jiri Vesely caused the biggest upset of The Championships on Thursday by recording only the second Top 10 win of his career (2-9 record).

Vesely, currently No. 64 in the Emirates ATP Rankings, held his nerve to edge past No. 8-ranked Dominic Thiem 7-6(4), 7-6(5), 7-6(3) in two hours and 45 minutes on Court No. 1 for a place in the third round. Vesely goes on to face No. 31 seed Joao Sousa, who beat American Dennis Novikov 6-4, 6-4, 3-6, 6-4 in just under two hours.

Vesely failed to convert one set point opportunity on Thiem's serve at 6-5 in the first set, but won three straight points from 4/4 in the tie-break. The Czech calmly took a 3/0 lead in the second set tie-break and won four of the first five points in the third tie-break of the pair's third FedEx ATP Head2Head meeting.

"I had a lot of confidence in the most important moments," said Vesely. "In the tight moments I was more comfortable, I served well and overall I think I played a very good match."

Thiem, the ATP World Tour match wins leader this year with a 48-13 record, has won four titles over the past six months. Vesely, also 22, is now 7-7 lifetime on grass courts.

Seventh seed Richard Gasquet battled his way past Marcel Granollers 4-6, 7-5, 6-3, 6-1 on Thursday at The Championships. The 2007 and 2015 semi-finalist hit 41 winners and converted six of his 17 break point opportunities for a place in the third round.

Gasquet improved to 27-10 at the All England Club for sole ownership of sixth place for most match wins by a Frenchman.

Czech Duo Roll To 6-0, 6-0 Victory In Istanbul Final[

Spoiler:

Roman Jebavy and Jiri Vesely did not put a wrong foot during Sunday's doubles final at the TEB BNP Paribas Istanbul Open. The Czech duo were ruthless in completing a 6-0, 6-0 victory over wild cards Tuna Altuna and Alessandro Motti for their first team title.
Jebavy and Vesely needed just 41 minutes to lift the trophy, saving all three break points faced, while converting six of nine of their own. It was the first double bagel in an ATP World Tour final since 2010, when Lukasz Kubot and Oliver Marach did not drop a game in winning the Acapulco title.
"We definitely didn't expect to win the final with a score like that," said Vesely. "But we played great, didn't miss many returns and put every ball back. We put the pressure on their side and played great all week. We deserved to win.
"After losing early in the singles, I was even more motivated to go far in the doubles. I know Roman for a long time. I think we did a really good job and hopefully we can keep it up."
For 23-year-old Vesely, it was his second ATP World Tour doubles title, having prevailed with another countryman - Frantisek Cermak - in Moscow in 2014. Jebavy, 27, claimed his first career doubles crown on the ATP World Tour.
"We played really good all week," said Jebavy. "We are happy to do it in Istanbul."
The Czech tandem, who previously teamed for the Prague Challenger title in 2014, entered the week with an 0-3 record together in tour-level events. They claim 250 Emirates ATP Doubles Rankings points and split € 23,780.
Altuna and Motti, meanwhile, were teaming together for the first time and earned all three wins in Match Tie-breaks to reach the final. The Turkish-Italian pair claim 150 Emirates ATP Doubles Rankings points and split € 12,500 in prize money.

Vesely wins Prostejov title, celebrates with his dog on court - VIDEO

Spoiler:

Jiri Vesely found a funny way to celebrate his third Challenger Prostejov title after beating the Argentina’s Federico Delbonis 5-7, 6-1, 7-5, on Saturday. At the end of the match before the prize ceremony Vesely brought on the court his little dog Leo, with who he shared some funny time, including doing some tricks like Leo giving Vesely a high five.

It's not the first time that dog Leo "follows" Jiri during tournaments, as he was already in Budapest Challenger.
At the end of the match Vesely was very happy for the win: 'My performance was not great today; however, what is much more important is that I managed to bring it to a victorious end', said Vesely after winning his sixth Challenger title in career, the first one since 2015 Prostejov.

He will break into the top 50 again, he will be No. 42 in the ATP Rankings. He also won an ATP Singles and Doubles title.

ATP Antalya: Jiri Vesely wyeliminował Fernando Verdasco. Robin Haase dokończył dzieła

Spoiler:

Jiri Vesely w dwóch setach pokonał Fernando Verdasco w II rundzie rozgrywanego na kortach trawiastych turnieju ATP World Tour 250 w Antalyi. Robin Haase udanie dokończył przerwany w poniedziałek mecz z Michaiłem Jużnym.

Fernando Verdasco to jeden z najbardziej znanych uczestników tegorocznej edycji turnieju ATP w Antalyi. Hiszpan, półfinalista Australian Open 2009 i niegdyś siódmy tenisista świata, poprosił o dziką kartę, by sprawdzić swoją formę na tydzień przed startem wielkoszlemowego Wimbledonu. Jednak madrytczyk nie zaprezentował się jak gwiazda zawodów. Z Turkish Airlines Open Antalya pożegnał się już po inauguracyjnym meczu. We wtorek przegrał 3:6, 5:7 z Jirim Veselym.
Vesely zawdzięcza zwycięstwo świetnej dyspozycji serwisowej. W ciągu 77 minut gry posłał dziesięć asów, przy własnym podaniu zdobył 68 proc. rozegranych punktów i ani razu nie dał się przełamać, a sam wykorzystał dwa z pięciu break pointów.

Wygrywając, 24-letni Czech pierwszy raz w karierze awansował do ćwierćfinału turnieju rozgrywanego na nawierzchni trawiastej. O półfinał powalczy z Nikołozem Basilaszwilim. Gruzin wygrał 6:4, 2:6, 7:5 z rozstawionym z numerem ósmym Dusanem Lajoviciem.

W imprezie nie ma już reprezentantów gospodarzy. Jedyny, który dostał się do głównej drabinki, Cem Ilkel przegrał w dwóch setach z Mariusem Copilem. Rumun w 1/8 finału zmierzy się z Damirem Dzumhurem, turniejową "dwójką". Z kolei Mirza Basić pokonał 6:3, 6:3 Paolo Lorenziego i w II rundzie zagra z Joao Sousą.

Robin Haase udanie dokończył przerwany w poniedziałek po dwóch setach z powodu zapadającego zmroku pojedynek z Michaiłem Jużnym. Rozstawiony z numerem piątym Holender ostatecznie zwyciężył 7:6(4), 6:7(5), 6:4 i jego kolejnym rywalem będzie Guillermo Garcia-Lopez, któremu uległ przed czterema laty w Auckland.
