Jiri Lehecka vs Alexandre Muller prediction
Jiri Lehecka began his European clay court season promisingly with a fine win over Sebastian Korda in Monte-Carlo in the first-round. He took the first set against Lorenzo Musetti in his next match after a blistering start and was two games from victory but ended up falling to a 6-1 5-7 2-6 defeat against the Italian, who would go on to make the final.
He then pulled out of the BMW Open due to injury and fell to a disappointing first-round loss to Cameron Norrie in Madrid despite taking the first set, falling away in the third to lose 2-6 6-4 6-0 to the Brit.
Alexandre Muller reached the third-round of the Madrid Open last time out before a straight sets defeat to Frances Tiafoe. That was a step in the right direction for the Frenchman who threatened an upset against Daniil Medevdev in the second-round of the Monte-Carlo Masters three weeks ago but came up just short in a three-set defeat.
Lehecka has won their two previous encounters, with one of those matches being a Salzburg Challenger event on clay.
These two are evenly-matched and we can see this one going all the way to three sets.
