LiontipsCameron Norrie vs Jiri Lehecka. Prediction and Betting Tips for 2023 Australian Open (January 20, 2023).
Command Analysis
Cameron Norrie showed good results at the first two tournaments of the new season. At the United Cup, the Briton won three out of three matches, and in Aukland he secured the runner-up finish. At the Australian Open, Norrie started with a straight-set victory over Luca Van Assche. In the second round, he defeated another Frenchman Constant Lestienne (6-3, 3-6, 7-6, 6-3).
Jiri Lehecka is in excellent shape and shouldn't be underestimated. At the United Cup, for instance, the Czech tennis player defeated Alexander Zverev, and at the current major, he outplayed Borna Coric (6-3, 6-3, 6-3) and Christopher Eubanks (6-4, 6-4, 3-6, 6-3). In two matches, Lehecka hit 11 aces and won ten break points.

Both previous meetings between these two players ended in three sets. We expect the upcoming match to be quite close and long, too. The Czech player is the outsider in this pair, but he is in great form and should put up a good fight.
