Winner will face Alcaraz or Bautista Agut in final
As Jack Draper has spent the past week trying to find rhythm and comfort in his first grass tournament of the season, Jiri Lehecka had bulldozed everything in his path. After two tension-filled hours, their form was reflected in the scoreline as the unseeded Lehecka toppled a frustrated Draper 6-4, 4-6, 7-5 to reach the final and deprive him of a shot at competing for a first title on home soil.
Although he competed brilliantly throughout the week, navigating two tough three-set wins over Alexei Popyrin and Brandon Nakashima, Draper has struggled as he continues to adjust to grass after a successful clay season and he has looked vulnerable in each match.
