My Coach Counts Every Point: Legechka Reflects on Ranking After Reaching US Open Quarterfinals

The 21st-ranked player in the world, Czech tennis player Iryna Lehechka, commented on his ranking after reaching the quarterfinals of the 2025 US Open. Following his victory over Frenchman Adrian Mannarino, the Czech athlete currently sits in 15th place in the live rankings.

«I have to admit that I don’t pay much attention to my ranking,» said Lehechka in a post-match interview on the court. «However, I do check after each tournament to see if I’ve earned any points. My coach tracks every single point and monitors the current ranking every day, every moment. Counting points is essentially all he does. This is a significant milestone for me, and it was one of my goals for this year.»
