Another wonderful hold from Lehecka, again from 0-30 down. He finds a flicked backhand overhead and the finishes the game with another serve-volley approach. The put-away was stylish. <\/p>\n

The writing looked to be on the wall for Lehecka as he faced 0-30 in the opening game. <\/p>\n

But he switches things up with some serving and volleying, squeezing some errors out of Alcaraz. <\/p>\n

It still looks pretty bleak for the Czech. Alcaraz has never lost from two sets up at a grand slam. <\/p>\n

<\/a>BREAK! *Carlos Alcaraz 6-4 5-2 Jiri Lehecka<\/p>\n

Lehecka gives away the break with the double-fault but the damage had been done by Alcaraz before then. <\/p>\n

A frustrated Lehecka was left shouting into his fist as Alcaraz popped a backhand winner past him to get to 0-30. <\/p>\n

It was pretty ragged from Lehecka after that. He\u2019s not playing badly, but Alcaraz\u2019s level is too good. <\/p>\n

<\/a>Carlos Alcaraz 6-4 4-2 Jiri Lehecka*<\/p>\n

A chance for Lehecka on 0-30, but Alcaraz prevails while landing another stunning shot. <\/p>\n

This time the Spaniard watched a dipping pass from Lehecka onto his strings, while ducking low to find the volley. <\/p>\n

A gorgeous volley from Alcaraz. <\/p>\n

<\/a>*Carlos Alcaraz 6-4 3-2 Jiri Lehecka<\/p>\n

A good save from Lehecka, particularly after Alcaraz had reached a smash to his left to direct the backhand pass down the line. <\/p>\n

Alcaraz was unable to do much on the two break points and Lehecka keeps himself in the picture. <\/p>\n

<\/a>Carlos Alcaraz 6-4 2-1 Jiri Lehecka*<\/p>\n

Alcaraz has played 13 sets so far in New York and is yet to lose one. Could he make it to the semi-finals with a record of 15\/15? <\/p>\n

It would be an impressive achievement from Alcaraz, who in his young career has sometimes been accused of having lapses during matches. <\/p>\n

There\u2019s been no suggestion of that so far. <\/p>\n

<\/a>BREAK! *Carlos Alcaraz 6-4 1-0 Jiri Lehecka<\/p>\n

A nightmare start to the second set for Lehecka, who had been growing into the match only to lose his serve in the opening game for the second set in a row. <\/p>\n

The Czech got caught at the net and pushed his volley long. He then clips a net cord and Alcaraz is able to pretty much put it away to get the early advantage. <\/p>\n

<\/a>FIRST SET! Carlos Alcaraz 6-4 Jiri Lehecka*<\/p>\n

Lehecka steers a backhand winner down the line on the opening point then has a great chance to move 0-30 up. <\/p>\n

But Alcaraz responds to his approach to find the angle at the net and then direct the backhand past the Czech. <\/p>\n

We\u2019ve had a few good points in this set but it\u2019s Alcaraz who converts the opening break to take it, 6-4. <\/p>\n

It comes on the third set point and after an aggressive approach from Alcaraz, who pumps his fist. <\/p>\n

<\/a>*Carlos Alcaraz 5-4 Jiri Lehecka<\/p>\n

Lehecka hits his shot of the match so far with a forehand on the run nailed crosscourt. <\/p>\n

He follows in another forehand to miss Alcaraz into the miss at the net and holds to force Alcaraz to serve it out. <\/p>\n
