A major upset at the ATP 500 in Doha as Jiri Lehecka knocks out top seed Carlos Alcaraz in the quarterfinals, winning 6-3, 3-6, 6-4 after a grueling two-hour battle. With a strong and composed performance, the Czech secures his place in the semifinals, where he will face Jack Draper, who defeated Matteo Berrettini.
For Alcaraz, who recently claimed the title in Rotterdam, this loss is a setback in his pursuit of the world No. 1 ranking. His chances of overtaking Jannik Sinner, currently sidelined for three months following an agreement with WADA over the Clostebol case, are now looking increasingly slim.
