Singles Final: Auger-Aliassime Edges Lehečka in Decisive Set
The Singles Final, scheduled as the second match on Centre Court, saw former champion Félix Auger-Aliassime defeat Jiří Lehečka with a final score of 7–6(7–2), 6–7(6–8), 6–2. The scoreline belies the fierce competition of the opening two sets, which stretched the match into a grueling three-hour affair.
The rivalry between the two players, now standing at 2-1 in favor of Auger-Aliassime, proved to be one of the most compelling of the European indoor swing.
- Set 1: Clutch Canadian: The opening set was a high-quality affair, ultimately decided by a tiebreak. Auger-Aliassime showed his class under pressure, dominating the breaker 7–2 to take the lead. This set the tone for a battle of nerves, rewarding the Canadian’s aggressive mindset that saw him post a strong 79.2% first-serve points won rate throughout the tournament.
- Set 2: Lehečka Responds: Refusing to yield, Lehečka fought back fiercely in the second set. The Czech, last year’s runner-up, matched Auger-Aliassime’s power blow-for-blow, securing the tiebreak 8–6. Lehečka’s exceptional serving—winning 87.9% of his first-serve points across the tournament—was the bedrock of his comeback, keeping his dream of a maiden title alive.
- Set 3: Veteran Poise Prevails: The deciding set saw Auger-Aliassime elevate his game, benefiting from his prior championship experience. He broke Lehečka twice, taking the set decisively 6–2 to seal the match and the championship.
