Jiri Lehecka goes for an emphatic start at the 2026 US Open, gunning for a sweep against Pablo Carreño Busta, who suffered a back injury at Winston-Salem a week ago.
Lehecka is priced at +135 to beat Carreño Busta in three sets.
Current Form:
Jiri Lehecka has had a subpar North American swing. After dropping his opening match in Los Cabos, Jiri Lehecka reached the fourth round of the 2026 Montreal Masters and the third round in Cincinnati.
Meanwhile, Pablo Carreño Busta finished his US Open preparations with a 1-3 record. The Spaniard lost in the first round in Montreal, reached the second round in Cincinnati, and bombed out in the first round at Winston-Salem. Busta is dealing with a back injury he suffered in his opening match against Adolfo Vallejo in Winston-Salem.
The Matchup: Lehecka and Busta are 1-1 in their head-to-head series. Busta swept the Czech at the 2026 French Open, but Lehecka also cruised through to a straight-set win over the Spanish vet, 7-6, 6-4, in Dubai earlier this year.

Our Jiri Lehecka vs Pablo Carreño-Busta Prediction
The Difference Maker: The game-changer in this match will be the status of Busta’s back injury. Busta’s team hasn’t disclosed clear details about his back injury, but playing with an injury against a top-20 player like Lehecka significantly impacts the outcome of this match.
What to Expect: Jiri Lehecka takes advantage of the situation, overpowering a banged-up Busta through three sets. Busta would have a chance to make this match interesting if he were only 100 percent healthy, but the back injury will definitely prevent him from delivering maximum effort against Lehecka.
Fearless Forecast: Jiri Lehecka wins 6-4, 6-4, 6-3
Our betting prediction for Jiri Lehecka vs. Pablo Carreno Busta: Jiri Lehecka wins 3-0 sets
