LiontipsLehechka vs Rune. Prediction and bets on the ATP Brisbane match
Command Analysis
Current form
Lehechka won his first ATP trophy in his career last season, winning the tournament in Adelaide at the beginning of the year. On open hard courts, the Czech statistics last season were 18 wins and 10 losses.
Professional qualities
Lehečka is a versatile player who grew up on clay courts but has made significant strides on outdoor hard courts over the years. The Czech combines excellent movement and solid defense with a solid serve and powerful forehand. However, his two-handed backhand is inferior, which is why he often runs under his forehand to use his more powerful forehand. An important development in Jiri’s game is his gradual acquisition of consistency, which makes him an increasingly dangerous opponent.
Current indicators in the tour
Lehechka is ranked 28th in the world. In addition to winning the tournament in Adelaide last season, Jiri also played in the final of the competition in Antwerp, where he lost to Roberto Bautista Agut.

Current form
Rune finished the last season at the exhibition tournament Ultimate Tennis Showdown, where he managed to reach the final. In the final match, Holger lost to Alex De Minaur. On open hard courts last season, the Dane won 25 times and lost 13 times.

Rune is one of the brightest representatives of the new generation. The Dane has an outstanding technique, a powerful serve, strong shots with both hands, excellent mobility and the ability to control the game. Holger is able to demonstrate the highest level of tennis in any conditions, which makes his prospects on the tour extremely high.
