Carlos Alcaraz vs. Jiri Lehecka Head-to-Head, Prediction and Betting Odds for US Open 2025 Quarterfinal

Winner to face Djokovic or Fritz in the SF.

Looking to expand his dominion on the ATP Tour, World No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz looks to gain revenge over Jiri Lehecka in the 2025 US Open Quarterfinal on Tuesday. The Czech prodigy defeated ‘Carlitos’ at the Qatar Open earlier this year, and has been playing some scintillating tennis at Flushing Meadows. Can the second seed maintain his quest for a sixth Grand Slam crown? Today, we will give you all the details regarding this encounter – including BetMGM’s best odds.

Carlos Alcaraz vs Jiri Lehecka Match Preview

Upon being asked in his press conference whether he had cracked the code to beat Alcaraz, Jiri Lehecka firmly replied, “No!” The 23-year-old is one of only six men to defeat the Spanish beast in 2025. Lehecka began the year by winning the Brisbane International, and followed it up with a Round of 16 showing at the Australian Open. After beating Alcaraz en route to the Doha semis, he went through a bit of a lull. But Czechia’s No. 1 player bounced back by reaching the QFs in Stuttgart and the final at Queen’s Club. Currently ranked No. 21 in the world, Lehecka defeated Coric, Etcheverry, Collignon and Mannarino en route to the last eight.

For the first time in his career, Carlos Alcaraz has reached a major quarterfinal without dropping a set. With wins over Opelka, Bellucci, Darderi and Rinderknech, the 22-year-old has now reached the last eight at all four Grand Slams this year. Currently on a 58-6 run in 2025, Alcaraz is looking practically unbeatable at the moment. He has reached seven consecutive tour-level finals and is chasing down Jannik Sinner for the No. 1 ranking. The five-time Grand Slam winner has won 6 trophies so far this season. With 152 aces and a service game success rate of 86% just on this surface, he is unsurprisingly one of the favourites to win it all this coming Sunday.

Carlos Alcaraz vs Jiri Lehecka US Open 2025 Prediction

One side of the coin will tell you that Lehecka has the formula to beat Alcaraz, as he managed to do earlier this year. The other side of the coin will inform you that the Spaniard took the lessons from that encounter to defeat his opponent in their most recent battle. One can expect Lehecka to take the attack to Alcaraz, and adopt a stance high up at the baseline. Meanwhile, the 22-year-old will stand slightly deeper to unleash his flat groundstrokes, before advancing forward and targeting the corners. The return games will be extremely important for both players.

Prediction: Carlos Alcaraz in four sets.
