Jiri Lehecka vs Hugo Gaston Prediction
Jiri Lehecka did drop a set in the first round, but otherwise looked good against Li Tu, his serve in particular proving effective with five more aces than his opponent. 81% of the points played on Lehecka’s first serve were won by the Czech, underlining his service dominance and he’ll look to assert that same authority here.
Hugo Gaston is in the second round for the second consecutive year but the Frenchman has never reached the third round and faces a tough task to change that in 2025 when taking into account his opponent. Lehecka is the stronger player and over the course of this encounter that should be evident.
Although it does represent a risk as Lehecka needed four sets to make it through the last round, backing him to get the job done in straight sets on this occasion has to be favoured.
