- The Czech player reached his career-high ranking of No. 12 in the PIF ATP Rankings on May 25, 2026
Mexico City, June 30, 2026.—Czech player Jiri Lehecka, ranked No. 14 in the world, is the highest-ranked player set to compete in the tenth edition of the Mifel Tennis Open by Telcel Oppo, to be held from July 27 to August 1, 2026, at the Cabo Sport Complex (CSC) in Los Cabos.
In late May, Jiri moved within two spots of the top of the ATP Rankings, and if he maintains his consistent results, he could break into the world’s top 10 this year.
For now, he is eyeing his goal from the No. 14 spot.
A professional since 2020, Lehecka has won two career titles at the season-opening tournaments in Adelaide (2024) and Brisbane (2025), both on hard courts—the same surface he will face at the ATC.
Lehecka, 24, has had an outstanding first half of the season, reaching the final of the ATP Masters 1000 in Miami—a match he lost to Jannik Sinner—which helped him climb to No. 13 in the world.
He also reached the quarterfinals at the Madrid Masters, results that have brought the Czech player closer to the Top 10, a spot currently held by Italy’s Flavio Cobolli.
His best chance to break into the Top 10 is undoubtedly the 10th edition of the ATP 250 in Los Cabos, the most important tournament in Latin America. The Czech player arrives as one of the star players set to celebrate the Mexican tournament’s 10th anniversary.
He boasts a career record of 138-101 and is 20-12 this year, having been eliminated in the first round of the first two Grand Slams of the year.
