Jiri Lehecka vs Pablo Carreno Busta prediction

Jiri Lehecka will do battle with Pablo Carreno Busta for a third time when they face off in New York.

The head-to-head stands at 1-1 with the Spaniard delivering the upset on the clay of Roland-Garros following the Czech’s solid win in Dubai earlier this year.

The surface may well be the key in this one as Lehecka is far more confident on hard and also sits 47 places better off on the ATP ladder.

Neither player has been in strong form in recent weeks, but we have seen breakers in their previous meetings, so you can expect a decent number of games if you want to explore options beyond the outright winner.
