Preview
Jiri Lehecka battled past Adrian Mannarino 7-6(4), 6-4, 2-6, 6-2 to reach his maiden US Open quarter-final, matching his 2023 Australian Open run.
Showcasing superb net play (19/21 points won in the opener) and athletic shot-making, the 23-year-old overcame Mannarino’s flat, awkward style and a spirited third-set surge to claim victory in just over three hours.
The win makes Lehecka the fifth man born in the 2000s to reach the last eight at both hard-court majors and ensures his Top 20 debut after the tournament.
These two previously met this year, in the Queen’s Club final which the Spaniard won in a closely fought three setter. However, their only hard-court exchange saw the Czech emerge victorious (in Doha earlier this year).

Match prediction
Alcaraz enters the US Open 2025 quarter-final as a clear favourite having not dropped a set so far in the tournament. Lehecka, however, has shown he can trouble Alcaraz, claiming their only hard-court encounter earlier this year in Doha.
The Czech has played with consistent aggression and has reached the quarter-finals by beating quality opponents, but facing a five-time Grand Slam champion in peak form will be a much bigger challenge.
Expect Lehecka to push hard early, but Alcaraz’s depth, variety, and ability to handle pressure should see him prevail in four sets.
Result: Carlos Alcaraz to win in four sets.
