Jiří Lehečka has won 24 out of 36 matches so far in 2025, winning the Brisbane International and, most recently, reaching the final of the ongoing ATP 500 event in London. The Czech entered the tournament unseeded, and he started by bagging a 6-4, 6-2 win over fifth seed Alex de Minaur.
He defeated Gabriel Diallo by the same scoreline before triumphing 7-5, 6-2 over Jacob Fearnley to set up a semifinal clash with second seed Jack Draper. Lehečka broke in the match’s opening set, and this was enough to see him win the set 6-4. However, the Brit bounced back and won the second set by the same margin to force the match into a decider.
Both players were solid on their serve during the third set before Lehečka made the decisive break in the 11th game that eventually led him to take the match 6-4, 4-6, 7-5 and reach his second final of the 2025 season.

Carlos Alcaraz vs Jiří Lehečka Prediction
While Jiří Lehečka won the last match between the two, Carlos Alcaraz is currently in terrific form and he will be the favorite to come out on top on Sunday. The Spaniard has had good numbers on his first serve so far during the Queen’s Club Championships, having won 149 out of 184 points (81%), with 42 aces to his name. He has also produced 143 winners compared to 97 unforced errors.
Alcaraz’s game makes life difficult for the best of players and on grass courts, his skills are impressive but his movement is what makes him such a feared opponent.
Jiří Lehečka has also done very well on his first serve so far during the ATP 500 event, winning 124 out of 150 points (82.7%) and amassing 38 aces. The Czech also hit 82 winners while producing 73 unforced errors. He has a very effective serve and will look to dominate his service games while looking for the odd decisive break.
While Lehečka is a formidable opponent on grass, Alcaraz’s current run of form makes it difficult to expect anything but a victory for him.
Prediction: Alcaraz to win in straight sets.
