Jiri Lehecka vs Zizou Bergs prediction

Zizou Bergs will hope to give a better account of himself in his second encounter with Jiri Lehecka.

The Czech romped to a 6-2 6-1 victory over the Belgian in Doha earlier this year but has drifted outside the top 20 of late.

However, Lehecka did score impressive wins over both Learner Tien and Ben Shelton in the Davis Cup last time out and Bergs has not been in top form, with just five wins since Wimbledon.

The match-up and conditions work for Jiri and while it may not be a ruthless as their maiden showdown, he’s still a solid tip to get it done in two again.
