Ben Shelton has won his last 8 matches on the hard court. On Thursday, he will try to earn his 9th straight win and a quarterfinal berth against Jiri Lehecka at the 2025 Cincinnati Open.
Shelton’s hot run continues as he secured another round of 16 appearance at the 2025 Cincinnati Open. Fresh off a title run at the Canadian Open, Shelton looks primed for a deep run in Cincinnati, where top guys like Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner are also competing. The American has eased through his first two opponents, besting Camilo Ugo Carabelli 6-3 3-1 ret. and Roberto Bautista Agut 7-6(3) 6-3.
Lehecka matched his fourth-round finish in Toronto following a 7-6(5) 7-6(3) win over Adam Walton, reaching the round of 16 in Cincinnati. The 26th-ranked Lehecka had to dig deep to get the better of Walton in two hotly contested tie-breakers. The Czech is now 16-7 on the hard court this year.

Our Ben Shelton vs Jiri Lehecka Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Ben Shelton stays hot, destroys Lehecka in straight sets.
Count on Shelton to deliver another straight-set win despite facing a formidable opponent on Thursday. Shelton has only played Lehecka once, carving out a 6-4, 6-4 win over the Czech in the quarterfinal of the Boss Stuttgart Open in June.
With a 16-7 record on the hard court in 2025 and a career 63.2 percent winner on the surface, Lehecka poses a serious threat to Shelton’s title bid and 8-match winning streak. However, Shelton is playing at a level that only a Carlos Alcaraz or a Jannik Sinner can match. There’s no question about Lehecka’s caliber. I think he has the potential to be a top-10 someday. But for now, the Shelton 2-0 pick looks really appealing at +160.
