Carlos Alcaraz, the top seed at the ATP Qatar Open, is set to face Jiri Lehecka in the quarterfinals. Alcaraz has been in exceptional form, having defended his titles at the BNP Paribas Open and Wimbledon Championships last year, and capturing his maiden crown at the French Open. He also reached the finals of the Summer Olympics, where he finished as the runner-up against Novak Djokovic. Alcaraz entered Doha on the back of a title-winning run in Rotterdam, and he started his campaign by cruising past Marin Cilic and then overpowering Luca Nardi in the second round.

Jiri Lehecka, on the other hand, is looking to make a significant impact. He won the Adelaide International last year and secured a runner-up finish at the European Open in Antwerp. Lehecka has already had a strong start to 2025, clinching the Brisbane International in January. He entered Doha after a second-round exit in Rotterdam and started his campaign with a remarkable win over Grigor Dimitrov, followed by a dominant performance against Fabian Marozsan.

Alcaraz and Lehecka have faced each other once before, with Alcaraz leading the head-to-head 1-0 after defeating Lehecka at the 2023 Queen’s Club Championships. Both players are in excellent form, and their upcoming match promises to be an exciting contest. Alcaraz’s recent performances and his ability to dig deep in crucial moments make him the favorite, but Lehecka’s strong record on hard courts and his impressive start to the season cannot be overlooked.

The quarterfinal match between Alcaraz and Lehecka will be a test of skill, endurance, and mental fortitude. Alcaraz’s powerful groundstrokes and aggressive playstyle will be pitted against Lehecka’s consistency and tactical approach. The outcome of this match will depend on who can maintain their composure and execute their game plan more effectively on the day.
