Stefanos Tsitsipas reached the fourth round of the U.S. Open for the first time in his career after defeating Czech player Jiri Lehecka.
The 53rd-ranked Greek recovered from losing the opening set to win 2-6, 6-1, 7-6(3), 6-1 in two hours and 33 minutes. He had earlier beaten France’s Arthur Fils in a demanding first-round match and South Africa’s Lloyd Harris.
The result marks Tsitsipas’ first appearance in the fourth round of a Grand Slam tournament since the 2024 Australian Open. He had dropped as low as No. 88 in the rankings in June before beginning his recovery with a title at the Gstaad 250 in July.
Tsitsipas will next play the winner of the match between ninth-ranked American Ben Shelton and 48th-ranked Canadian Denis Shapovalov.
