Jiri Lehecka vs Emilio Nava prediction
Jiri Lehecka comes into this event on the back of his first Masters 1000 final appearance at the Miami Open. It was an impressive tournament from the Czech, who was not broken on serve until the final. He was unable to stop Jannick Sinner from winning the title, but he is now up to his highest ranking of 14 in the world. Lehecka suffered an injury at the start of the season but seems to be back to his best in terms of his level of performance.
He takes on Emilio Nava in the first-round, with the American having qualified for the main draw. He defeated Quentin Halys and David Goffin, overcoming the Belgian in a deciding set tiebreak. His best result on the ATP Tour this season was a quarter-final appearance in Santiago.
Nava has won a number of Challenger titles on clay over the course of the last year, and he will also take confidence from his two qualifying wins. Lehecka is the clear favourite, but he can be vulnerable on this surface and could be tested by Nava.
