Carlos Alcaraz, one of the most promising tennis players on the tour, faces a baptism of fire at the US Open, where he will take on Jiri Lehecka this Tuesday, who is currently ranked No. 21 in the world. Alcaraz, who has shown impeccable performance by not dropping a single set in the tournament so far, will have to prove his worth against the Czech, who already beat him on a hard court earlier this year in Doha. Nevertheless, the head-to-head record favors the Spaniard, who has emerged victorious in their two grass-court meetings, including an exciting win in the final of this year's Queen's tournament.
The duel promises to be especially interesting, as both players have shown an exceptional level of play in their previous encounters. At Queen's 2025, Alcaraz and Lehecka put on a display worthy of admiration, with a final score of 7-5, 6-7 and 6-2 in favor of the Murcian. This matchup at the US Open presents an opportunity for Alcaraz to consolidate his position as one of the greats in modern tennis, while for Lehecka it represents a chance to reaffirm his performance on hard courts. The expectation is high and the fans expect to experience a duel full of intensity and talent.
