I do wonder whether wrist preservation is one of the reasons Jake schedules his tournaments quite carefully. He always makes sure to give himself regular breaks between events

Cam drops first set 6-3. He's not doing a lot wrong out there and he's not being at all defeatist but Lehecka is so much sharper when it comes to the important points. Lehecka is a frightening combination of talent, vigour and youth and at the moment he's making Cam look like yesterday's news, but there's still time to turn it around or for Lehecka's level to dip a little...

Neil Gee · County player

Well done Cam for taking it to a third set. Lehecka may have dipped just a little as hoped for he was certainly firing into the net a lot more but it was sheer grit and determination from Cam for the most part.

Lehecka looked great in the first set but when the going got tough he couldn't get going.

Really good win that for Cam.

Madadman · Grand Slam Champion

Highest ranked opponent he has beaten since Ruud in the Australian Open in 2024.

Neil Gee · County player

To be honest I expected a little more fight from Lehecka. Guess I shouldn't have believed the hype.

Sheddie · administrator

Just watched the final few points. Lehecka kind of gifted it at the end, blasting a short forehand wide and then double faulting on match point. But great result for Cam, he looked delighted at the end.

Fonseca is WR 80. Still a drop from his CH last month ( as 100 points dropped off on 24/02 ) but not quite as much.
