The third stage match of Wimbledon 2023 between Jiri Lehecka and Tommy Paul will take place on July 8.
Jiri Lehecka has impressively reached the third round of Wimbledon, not dropping more than four games in any set. He showcased his dominance against ATP Eastbourne champion Francisco Cerundolo in the second round. In the upcoming round, he will face the runner-up of ATP Eastbourne as they both vie for a place in the tournament’s second week. Before arriving at Wimbledon, the talented Czech youngster had already defeated four top-20 players this year. Notably, he achieved two of those victories at the Australian Open, where he upset Cameron Norrie in the third round and Felix Auger Aliassime in the round of 16, marking his first quarterfinal appearance at a Grand Slam event.
Tommy Paul has overcome injury concerns to advance smoothly to the third round of Wimbledon. Benefiting from a favorable draw, he easily defeated Shintaro Mochizuki and an unfit Milos Raonic in the earlier rounds. This marks a significant improvement for Paul, who struggled with confidence and form during the clay season. He achieved a runner-up finish in Eastbourne and has now added two wins at Wimbledon, bringing his grass-court record for the season to 8 wins and 3 losses, his best performance on this surface in a single season. In his Wimbledon debut last year, he also faced a Czech opponent in the third round, defeating Jiri Vesely in straight sets to reach the round of 16.
