Jiří Lehečka faces defending champion Carlos Alcaraz in the final at the Kinoshita Group Japan Open Tennis Championships in Tokyo, while three Czech women contest the fourth round at the China Open in Beijing, Tenis portál reported. The slate of matches across Tuesday spans ATP Tour finals, WTA 1000 main draws, Challenger events, and international junior tournaments.
Lehečka Advances to Tokyo Final Against Alcaraz
The Czech player carries a career record of two wins and five losses in tour-level finals, with both titles earned on Australian hard courts at Adelaide in 2024 and Brisbane in 2025. Standing across the net is top-seeded Carlos Alcaraz. LiveSport confirmed the Tokyo singles final is scheduled for 11:00 local time.
Three Czech Women Target Beijing Quarterfinals
Linda Nosková, Karolína Muchová, and Nikola Bartůňková take to the courts in Beijing for WTA 1000 fourth-round action. Nosková faces Ekaterina Alexandrova in her opening match of the day. Muchová meets former world number one Naomi Osaka in a rematch of their Wimbledon encounter earlier this season, where the Czech player advanced in straight sets 7-6, 6-4, according to match analysis published by Sport.cz. Bartůňková squares off against Austria’s Sinja Kraus as she aims to reach her career-best result at the WTA 1000 level. In the doubles draw, top-seeded Kateřina Siniaková partners with China’s Zhang Shuai against Feng Shuo and Yuan Yue.
Svrčina Seeks Shanghai Main Draw Berth
Dalibor Svrčina plays his final qualifying match at the Rolex Shanghai Masters against Japan’s Yoshihito Nishioka. Svrčina earned his spot in the qualifying round final after winning the preliminary rounds. The winner secures a place in the main draw of the ATP Masters 1000 event in China.
Questions Remaining in the Draw
Whether Muchová can replicate her grass-court form against Osaka on Beijing’s hard courts remains unanswered ahead of their 09:00 local start. Similarly, the outcome of Lehečka’s final against Alcaraz rests on whether the Czech player can overcome a dominant opponent who has not dropped a match in Tokyo tournament history.
