Alexander Zverev is still trying to get back to his best form and today's win over a very solid Lehecka is a good start towards that goal 4-6 6-3 6-4.
The German has been up and down from the start of the year which was expected after he missed more than six months of tennis due to a gruesome ankle injury. He's back in the winning column after beating a very solid Jiri Lehecka who had a strong run in Doha last week and generally is playing really well.
The Czech player actually won the first set by being aggressive and it worked out in his favour. Zverev upped his level in the second set and he was able to stay in the match. Eventually, Lehecka started to miss more and more and that was enough for the German to take the lead and the set after that 6-3.
A huge part of Zverev's turnaround was the serve as Lehecka was not getting the same looks he had in the first set which made things harder for him. Zverev continued to play well in the second set taking a break relatively early. Lehecka countered with even more aggressive tennis but it didn't go that well.
He di dbreak back and make it 4-4 but then he threw it all away with a couple of errors and Zverev took it 6-4.

- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.mandoist08-11-2026

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.mandoist06-11-2026

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
