Jiri Lehecka is the third seed at this year’s Brisbane International and will begin his title defence against compatriot Tomas Machac. They will face off in the first round to mark their first-ever matchup. Read on for our prediction of the match.
Jiri Lehecka is the Brisbane defending champion. He won last year’s edition by losing just one set in the five matches he contested. This was his only title success, though he did have a strong year, earning runner-up finishes in London and Brussels.
His performances saw him earn a career-high 16th world ranking, and he finished the season with 41 wins and a top 20 ranking.
Tomas Machac also had a career-defining campaign in 2025 and will be keen to improve this year. The Czech player, who is back for a second run in Brisbane, won 23 fixtures last year and became a tour champion for the first time.
This feat was achieved in February as he fought against the odds to win the Mexican Open. That feat saw him shoot up into 20th place in the ATP for the first time, a position he would hover around for the majority of the season.
A disappointing end to the year saw him finish the season in 32nd place. Machac lost five of his final six matches in 2025 and seems to have picked up from where he left off, as he has struggled in preseason.
