Overview

  • Carlos Alcaraz meets Jiri Lehecka in the US Open last eight after a commanding run through the early rounds.
  • Alcaraz reached the quarterfinals without dropping a set, defeating Reilly Opelka, Mattia Bellucci, Luciano Darderi and Arthur Rinderknech.
  • His serve has been a key weapon in New York, winning 84% of points on first serve and 67% on second with just one break conceded.
  • The Spaniard can reclaim the ATP top spot only by winning the tournament, otherwise his standing hinges on Jannik Sinner’s result.
  • Lehecka, ranked No. 21 with two career titles including Brisbane this season, trails Alcaraz 1–2 in their head‑to‑head after losing the Queen’s final.
