Lehechka was stronger than Benjamin Bonzi in the third round of the Australian Open (6-2, 6-3, 6-3). Jiri served nine aces in the match against the Frenchman, converted five break points and did not lose a single game on his serve. Earlier in the tournament, the Czech had beaten Hugo Gaston and Li Tu.
Professional qualities
Lehečka is an example of a versatile player of the new generation. His game is focused on the baseline, where he tries to outplay his opponent tactically, taking advantage of his signature forehand. The serve is an important part of his arsenal, but Jiri rarely goes to the net, and his attacks in these situations are not always the most effective.

2.19Tip and bets
Despite Djokovic obvious advantage in experience and titles, Lehecka is a serious threat to the Serb. The young Czech is in excellent shape and demonstrates mature tennis. However, it is worth noting that Novak is only improving with each match. The victory over Makhac in three sets is proof of this. We expect that the Serb will be able to cope with Lehecka as well.
Our prediction is Djokovic victory with a handicap of (-5) games at odds of 1.77
Bet on total
Lehechka is in great shape, so she is absolutely capable of causing problems for Djokovic. Although the same opinion was expressed about Makhac, whom the Serb beat in three sets. It is quite possible that the same fate awaits Jiri.
The second betting tip is total under 38 games with odds of 1.88

Three of Lehecka last five matches have seen the first set go to fewer than 9.5 games. We expect the upcoming match against Djokovic to start with a low first set as well.
