Lehecka, who had won the tournament in Brisbane earlier this year and is ranked 25th in the world, achieved the first victory of his career against a member of the top three. The 23-year-old ended the run of seven successive victories for Alcaraz, who had triumphed at the tournament in Rotterdam at the beginning of February.
