Eighth seed Jiri Lehecka begins his Qatar ExxonMobil Open campaign against unseeded Jenson Brooksby. Lehecka was a semi-finalist in this outdoor hard court tournament last year. Read our match prediction below.
The winner will take on either Zizou Bergs or Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard (both unseeded) in round two.
Last year's semi-final appearance was the second in three years for Lehecka. 2025 was a notable run as he defeated Carlos Alcaraz (top seed this week) in the quarter-finals. He'd love a return to that kind of form.
This year has seen him play just four matches, winning two of them. One of those victories came in the Davis Cup against a player ranked outside the top 550. His loss to Sebastian Korda in Brisbane came when he retired in the second set.
Jenson Brooksby won the only previous match played between these two players.
That was a three-setter outdoor hard court match played at the M25 level in 2021.
Brooksby is 45th in the live rankings, 21 places below his opponent. The American won his opening match of the year in Auckland but it's been all downhill since then but again strong opposition. The 25-year-old has lost his last three matches, most recently to Tommy Paul in Dallas.
We tip more than 20.5 games.
