We know how stressful it can be to decide the best option to bet on. That’s why we dig into every detail surrounding the best tennis players in the world.

Jiri Lehecka to Take at Least One Set
This pick is mostly based on previous encounters between these players. Despite being the underdog in all the meetings between these two, Jiri Lehecka tends to hold his own against Rublev. Lehecka and Rublev have faced off on two occasions, and the Czech player took at least one set in both clashes. As a matter of fact, Jiri Lehecka came out on top the last time these players met, just two weeks ago. That said, we believe the 21 year old will not lose this match in straight sets.
Over 22.5 Total Games
We’ve mentioned that these players clashed two times in the past; it’s also fair to point out that both encounters ended in three sets, going comfortably over 25 games. In the same vein, both players have had fairly decent runs in recent weeks, so we don’t believe that this will be a one-sided contest. For this reason, we’re taking the over 22.5 goals option.
Andrey Rublev vs Jiri Lehecka Preview
We’ve gotten our predictions out of the way. Now, we would like to analyze both players, checking out their recent form ahead of this tournament.
Andrey Rublev
Being a seeded player, Andrey Rublev didn’t play in the first round of this tournament. The Russian has impressed recently, reaching the final of the Dubai Open last week. He’ll set his sights on a third round spot by defeating Jiri Lehecka today.
Jiri Lehecka
Unlike his opponent, Jiri Lehecka featured in the previous round of this competition, defeating Arthur Rinderknech in straight sets. The 21 year old will have his work cut out for him as he takes on an in-form Andrey Rublev. It’ll be interesting to see how he matches up against the Russian.
