Arthur Fils vs Jiri Lehecka prediction

Jiri Lehecka gets an immediate chance to take some revenge against Arthur Fils.

The Czech lost 6-3 6-3 to the Frenchman last week and will have a clear and fresh idea of what didn’t work in that encounter. 

Fils has just returned from injury after seven months out and claimed the Doha title in just his third tournament back. 

The 21-year-old French star also leads their head-to-head 2-1 with the other two encounters going the distance.

This could follow suit, but Lehecka’s motivation will be high and with Fils having a quick turnaround, it’s worth backing Jiri to have that edge in terms of desire.
