Who is Novak Djokovic playing against?

Jiri Lehecka at the 2024 United Cup.

Czech Republic's Jiri Lehecka will be the World No. 1's next opponent. This will be the very first meeting between them.

Lehecka's United Cup campaign was off to a dismal start. He was bested by China's Zhizhen Zhang in three sets in their singles rubber. He then teamed up with reigning Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova for mixed doubles.

However, the Chinese pairing of Qinwen Zheng and Zhang wiped the floor with the Czech duo as they handed them a 6-1, 6-2 beatdown. Now, Lehecka, along with the Czechs, have a very long shot of making it past the group stage as they lost 3-0 to China.
