Jiri Lehecka
- 🌿 Quiet confidence: Unbeaten in London so far, cruising past de Minaur, Diallo, and Fearnley without dropping a set.
- 🧨 In-form streak: Strong clay-to-grass transition with QFs in Stuttgart and a solid Roland-Garros run.
- 📉 Top-tier hurdle: Yet to score a top-10 grass win — 0–2 in such matches, failing to win a set in either.
- 📅 All gain, no risk: Missed this stretch in 2024 due to injury; every win now boosts his ranking.
- 🔁 Can he flip it? Beat Draper once (Adelaide 2024) but lost both encounters since.
