Unseeded Jiri Lehecka is a win away from his second ATP Tour outdoor hard court final of the year. In the last four of the Japan Open, he faces eighth-seeded Valentin Vacherot. Both have played some long sets in this tournament and our prediction here is more than 22.5 games.
The winner will be up against either top seed Carlos Alcaraz or qualifier Jaume Munar in the final.
Jiri Lehecka was a finalist in Miami earlier this year. Before this week, that is the only ATP Tour event on this surface in which he has made it past the quarter-finals.
He has won three matches this week, the first two against Bergs and Humbert both went to three sets. He then beat Adolfo Daniel Vallejo 6-1 6-1.
It's a massive time of the year for Valentin Vacherot who is at 14th in the live rankings, five places above Lehecka. Next week he defends his Shanghai Masters title and needs to do well again in 2026 to avoid a big drop down the rankings list. He's warming up well for that with this run to the last four in Tokyo.
It's been a long road to the last four though. Eight sets in three matches and four sets that have seen at least 12 matches.
