Our pick: Tiafoe F. – Lehecka J.: 2

16.08.2024 16:00

Jiří Lehečka is getting back to his best after returning from an injury, when he was absent for three months due to a fatigue fracture of the lumbar vertebra. At the Masters Tournament in Cincinnati, he first defeated Argentine Navone in two sets and in the second round, also in two sets, but without losing his serve, he knocked down world number five Daniil Medvedev. It was one of the most valuable scalps of the Czech tennis player’s career and a confirmation that his serve is not limited by long-term injuries or lack of match rhythm.

Lehecka will also want to confirm his great form after his comeback in the eighth round. There he will face the home team’s Frances Tiafoe, the current world number 27. And he has a lot to get back at the American, after losing to him last year on the grass in Stuttgart.

Tiafoe also hasn’t lost a set in Cincinnati, knocking out Spain’s Alejandro Davidovich and Italy’s Lorenzo Musetti. Also, his sharp serve could be a big weapon in the match with Lehecka.

What to bet on:

Lehecka is in great form in his first tournament back from a three-month injury and he will confirm that in his duel with Tiafoe. Although he is a slight odds-on underdog, he will fight his way to the quarter-finals. You can also bet on a higher number of games.

Confidence:

7/10
