Jiri Lehecka wins Brisbane tournament after Reilly Opelka retires

This final only lasted 13 minutes and five games. This Sunday, Czech Jiri Lehecka won the ATP 250 in Brisbane after his opponent Reilly Opelka gave up during the first set (4-1, ab.). The American, who defeated Novak Djokovic in the quarterfinals (7-6 [6]6-3) earlier in the week, decided to end the match after experiencing pain in his right wrist. On Saturday, against Mpetshi Perricard, he already felt discomfort in the same wrist. Despite this premature end to the match, Czech Jiri Lehecka won his second career tournament, after that in Adelaide in January 2024.
