Video - Lehecka's raging celebration
Jiri Lehecka pulled off a crazy comeback on Wednesday.
Up against a rampaging Mitchell Krueger, Tomas Berdych's protégé had to dig deep into his mental and physical resources to snatch victory.
Dominated for two and a half sets, he finally turned the match around to win in 5 sets (6-7, 0-6, 6-4, 6-4, 7-5).
Having suffered a serious back injury in May and only returned to action since Cincinatti, this victory is worth its weight in gold for the Czech.
His reaction after the match point is clear to see (see video below)!
