Jiri Lehecka vs Matteo Berrettini prediction
Jiri Lehecka was on course for a deep run in Montreal as he beat Vit Kopriva and Alexander Blockx without the drop of a set to advance to the round-of-16. However, he was then comfortably beaten by Rafael Jodar. The Czech is without a title this season, but he did reach his first Masters 1000 final at the Miami Open, losing to Jannik Sinner in straight sets.
He received a bye in round one and now faces 2021 Wimbledon finalist Matteo Berrettini. The Italian had to come from a set down to beat Titouan Droguet in his first-round match. Berrettini claimed a 3-6 6-1 6-4 victory. He is close to moving back inside the world’s top 50 in the rankings.
Berrettini’s serve and forehand give him enough firepower to keep this competitive, particularly in conditions that reward aggressive tennis, but Lehecka has been the much more consistent hard court performer this season. The Czech also possesses stronger rally tolerance and better mobility too.
Jiri Lehecka vs Matteo Berrettini tip: Jiri Lehecka to win 2-0
