Lehecka J. – Etcheverry T. M. — US Open 2R

ATP US Open Hard Court 2nd Round

🧠 Form & Context

Jiri Lehecka (No. 21, age 23)

• 🇨🇿 One of the rising forces of the ATP Tour, with a strong hard-court pedigree.
• 📊 2025: 31–17 overall, 17–8 on hard courts. Brisbane champion in January, Queen’s Club finalist on grass.
• ⚠️ Grand Slam year: R16 AO (lost to Djokovic), R3 RG (lost to Sinner), R2 Wimbledon (lost to Bellucci). Slight downward trend since Australia.
• 🔎 Recent US swing: Solid, though patchy. Wins over Fils, McDonald, Walton, and Boyer, but losses to Shelton and Fritz. Needed 4 sets vs Coric in R1 here after trailing in the third-set breaker.
• 💡 Game: Explosive first-strike tennis, big off both wings, thrives on fast points. But inconsistency and physical dips have repeatedly shown up in Slams.

Tomas Martin Etcheverry (No. 59, age 26)

• 🇦🇷 Clay specialist, but showing surprising grit on hard courts in 2025.
• 📊 2025: 22–27 overall, 8–8 on hard. North American swing = R3 Toronto (beat Griekspoor, Herbert), R2 Cincinnati, R2 USO so far.
• 🔥 R1 USO: Dismissed Ugo Carabelli 6–3, 6–2, 6–0 — clinical performance.
• 📈 US Open progression: 2022 R1 → 2023 R2 → 2024 R3. Aiming to continue the upward curve.
• 💡 Game: Heavy forehand, strong baseline coverage. Less comfortable on hard, but endurance and depth of shot can expose streaky opponents.
