Head-to-Head History Between Lehečka and Landaluce
This will be the first-ever meeting between these two players on the ATP Tour. Landaluce has been making waves in Miami, reaching the last eight as a qualifier. With his run, the World No. 151 has become the lowest-ranked quarterfinalist at the event since Jim Grabb (ranked No. 185) in 1994.
Still only 20, Landaluce had won only two ATP Tour main-draw matches prior to his run in Miami. He has already tripled that tally with his four main-draw wins at the Miami Open, having defeated Marcos Giron, Luciano Darderi, Karen Khachanov, and Sebastian Korda.
Having come through the Rafa Nadal Academy, Landaluce has shown great resilience in Miami, looking very much at home despite facing powerful players like Korda, Khachanov, and Darderi.
On the other hand, Lehečka has enjoyed a mixed start to 2026, with quarterfinal runs in Doha, Dubai, and now Miami his best performances of the year so far. But the 24-year-old looks to be in inspired form at the moment and overcame Fritz in the Round of 16.
Against Fritz, Lehečka recorded 10 aces and had a win percentage of 75% on his first serve. He also converted three break-point opportunities while denying the American all five of his chances.
Lehečka vs Landaluce Match Prediction
This match will pit the big-serving and aggressive Lehečka against the defensively strong Landaluce. The Czech’s serve hasn’t been as effective this year, but he appears to have found his groove again in Miami.
Landaluce has shown great tenacity so far at the Miami Open, playing six matches over the last eight days, including his qualifying rounds. He has done a brilliant job of making the most of his break-point opportunities so far, which has helped him take out a number of seasoned campaigners.
Whether the promising youngster can now carry that momentum into the quarterfinals remains to be seen.

But Landaluce has displayed composure beyond his years in Miami and will be eyeing another big upset on Wednesday.
