Jiri Lehecka has an excellent record in the Qatar ExxonMobil Open. A win for the eighth seed over unseeded Arthur Fils will take him into his third semi-final in Doha. Time for our match prediction.
The last four of this outdoor hard court tournament.will see the winner face either second seed Jannik Sinner or sixth-seeded Jakub Mensik.
Arthur Fils is playing in his second quarter-final of 2026 following a last eight appearance indoors in Montpellier. The 21-year-old has been unlucky to face the eventual champion in his last two tournaments.
To reach this last eight, Fils has beaten unseeded Kamil Majchrzak (after losing the opening set) and lucky loser Quentin Halys 6-1 7-6. He is now 38th in the live rankings. It’s 1-1 in previous meetings but Lehecka won the only one played on this surface.
Jiri Lehecka must love playing in Doha after two semi-finals in as many appearances. Last year saw him defeat Carlos Alcaraz on his way to the last four. He has made a slow start to this year with a 2-2 record before this week.
He has had wins over Jenson Brooksby and Zizou Bergs in straight sets, losing only nine games and is up to a career-high 13th.
We tip a win for Lehecka.
