BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Howard Talmud '77 head men's tennis coach Craig Schwartz has announced the addition of new graduate assistant coach Ondrej Sramek to his coaching staff ahead of the 2026-27 season.
"Joining Lehigh's men's tennis as a GA is a dream come true," said Sramek. "For the past year and a half, I've been working toward this goal both in the classroom and on the tennis court. I've built a great relationship with Coach Schwartz, and it's an honor to have the opportunity to work alongside him. I strongly believe that, together, we can achieve great things, and I'm excited to be part of this program and contribute to its success."
Sramek arrives in Bethlehem following a decorated playing career at St. Thomas Aquinas College, where he competed as a member of the men's tennis team from 2022-26. During his time at STAC, Sramek established himself as one of the top players in program history, setting the school record with 122 career wins. He was a two-time ITA East Regional Semifinalist in doubles and a two-time ITA East Regional Quarterfinalist in singles. Sramek was also named the 2022-23 East Regional Rookie of the Year and earned East Coast Conference First Team honors three times.
Sramek played a key role in helping STAC make history, as the Spartans qualified for the NCAA Division II National Championship in both 2025 and 2026. He also earned recognition as the No. 1 doubles player in the Division II East Coast Region and was named both NCAA Division II East Coast Rookie of the Year and ECC Rookie of the Year.
In addition to his collegiate playing career, Sramek brings coaching experience from his native Czech Republic. He previously served as a professional tennis player and coach at Hradec Králové Tennis Club, where he competed in the Czech Second Division while coaching junior and semi-professional players in technical, tactical and mental preparation. He also assisted with team training, match preparation and tournament play while mentoring younger athletes.
A leader both on and off the court, Sramek served as president of the STAC International Student Organization, leading an organization of more than 30 members and organizing events, workshops and professional speaker sessions. He previously served as the organization's vice president and helped expand mentoring, career development and networking opportunities for students.
Sramek earned his bachelor of business administration in business management from St. Thomas Aquinas College in 2026.
