Current Form:

Jiri Lehecka will try to get his campaign back on track following two early-round exits in Los Cabos and Montreal. Ranked No.12 in the world, Lehecka passed his first assignment in Cincinnati, beating Matteo Berrettini 6-4, 6-7, 6-3. Lehecka held all his service games by winning 79 percent of his first serves and firing 13 aces in the match.

Arthur Fils reached the quarterfinals of the 2026 Cincinnati Open before falling to Rafael Jodar 6-7, 3-6 for the second time in two weeks. Fils, who also lost to Jodar in the first round of the Washington D.C Open, could not overpower the Spaniard, winning only 64 percent of his first serves and dropping four service games.

The Matchup: Fils leads the head-to-head series with Lehecka 3-2, and the Frenchman also won their last meeting at the Madrid Masters, 6-3, 6-4.
