Year Event Surface Round Winner Score
2026 Doha Hard QF Fils 6-3, 6-3

Lehecka Wins Tight Battle

Jiri Lehecka defeated Martin Landaluce 7-6, 7-5 to reach the semifinals in Miami. He saved the only break point he faced and won 85% of his first-serve points. 

This is his first semifinal on tour since Brussels last year. Earlier this season, he lost in the quarterfinals in both Doha and Dubai. 

The result is a big boost after a difficult start to the year, where he failed to defend his Brisbane title and Australian Open points, dropping out of the top 20. 

Lehecka holds a 6-5 record in tour-level semifinals. His only Masters semifinal ended in a loss to Felix Auger-Aliassime in Madrid 2024.

Fils Edges Paul Thriller

Arthur Fils defeated Tommy Paul 6-7, 7-6, 7-6 to reach the semifinals in Miami. He came back from 2-6 down in the deciding tiebreak to seal a dramatic win. 

This is his second semifinal of the season, having previously reached the stage in Doha where he beat Jakub Mensik before losing to Carlos Alcaraz in the final. 

The 21-year-old has shown impressive consistency after ending last season early and skipping the Australian swing to recover. Those decisions have helped him return to the top 30. 

Fils holds a 6-6 record in tour-level semifinals and is playing his first Masters semifinal. His most recent semifinal loss came against Carlos Alcaraz in Barcelona last year.
