Alcaraz and Lehecka have met twice before and are 1-1 in their head-to-head. The 23-year-old Czech, currently ranked 30th in the world, beat Alcaraz the last time they met in Doha earlier this year. Alcaraz was the victor in their first meeting which happened to be at Queen’s in 2023 – the Spaniard went on to win the title that year.

Jiri Lehecka downed Britain's Jack Draper to ruin the script at Queen's Club on Saturday, winning a gripping semi-final 6-4 4-6 7-5 to become the first Czech man to reach an ATP grasscourt final for 15 years.

Jack Draper crashed out at the penultimate hurdle as he was denied a first home final by Jiri Lehecka at Queen’s Club. The tricky Czech, who arrived in west London unseeded and world no30, beat the British no1 in three sets - 6-4 4-6 7-5 on the Andy Murray Arena.
