Etcheverry has already beaten Lehecka this season. In Santiago, Tomas defeated Jiri in two sets. It is possible that Tomas will win again.
Three sets have been played in three of Lehecka’s last five matches. History is likely to repeat itself.
Tomas has been a promising prospect for a long time. This season, he has finally managed to make it into the top 100 of the ATP rankings. So far, he has mostly won on the Challengers. He has not had much success at higher-ranking events.
Before Gstaad, Etcheverry played a tournament in Bastad. In Sweden, he won the qualifiers. However, in the main draw, he was unable to play against Albert Ramos Vinolas (3-6, 3-6).
Etcheverry has won three of his last five first-round meetings.
Lehecka prefers to play on clay. This season, Lehecka has played 27 matches on this surface. He has won 17 of them.
It should be noted that Jiri mainly plays on the Challengers. It’s a correct tactic. The level of his opponents at these events is not as high. This allows them to get ranking points. For example, Lehechka reached the quarterfinals of the Challenger in Iasi last week. At that event, he defeated Ilya Snitari (6-4, 7-6) and Andrey Chepelev (6-4, 4-6, 6-4).
Lehecka has lost his last four meetings against opponents from the top 100.
In four of Jiri’s last five matches, more than 9.5 games have been played in the first set. We offer to bet on “1st Set Games – Over 9.5” with odds of 1.78.
