Quentin Halys vs Jiri Lehecka prediction
Despite his poor form during the season, Quentin Halys enjoyed a comfortable victory in the first-round of the Shanghai Masters against Mackenzie McDonald. The Frenchman was not broken on serve as he wrapped up a comfortable 6-3 6-2 win after just an hour and three minutes. Halys struck seven aces during the match and can now look forward to a clash with Jiri Lehecka.
Lehecka has only competed in the Davis Cup after reaching the quarter-finals of a Grand Slam for the second time in his career at the US Open last month. He continued his highly impressive form with victories over Frances Tiafoe and Taylor Fritz in the Davis Cup as the Czech Republic defeated the United States to advance. He already has a hard court title in Brisbane this season and has now won six of his last seven matches, with the loss coming against world number one Carlos Alcaraz.
The quick conditions should suit Lehecka’s serve and powerful baseline groundstrokes. He will be the favourite to win in straight sets.
