José "Pepe" Checa Calvo (born 2 April 1985) is a Spanish tennis coach and former professional player.[1][2]
Career
Born in the town of Las Pedroñeras, Checa is a product of the Cuenca Tennis Club, where he trained with his elder sisters. He began competing professionally in 2003.[3]
Checa won 21 ITF singles titles during his career. On the ATP Challenger Tour, Checa was a Montauban semi-finalist in 2006 and beat world number 78 Bjorn Phau at the Tampere Open in 2009.[4] After winning six ITF titles in 2013, he attained a career high singles ranking of 230 in April, 2014.[5] He never made an ATP Tour main draw but featured in several qualifying tournaments including the 2014 Torneo Godó (ATP Tour 500), beating Ante Pavić in the first round.[6]
Forced to retire from professional tennis in 2015 due to injuries, Checa transitioned straight into a career as a tour coach, taking charge of Santiago Giraldo.[7] In 2017 he parted company with Giraldo and became coach of Andrey Kuznetsov. He was the coach of Ilya Ivashka,[8] who rose to 50 in the world under his charge.[9]
