One of Monday's first-round matches at the ATP event in Paris, better known as the Paris Masters, sees the world number 34 take on the world number 21. This is match between Alex Michelsen and Jiri Lehecka, who will be meeting for the third time as professionals, the third time since 2024.
All the time oddsof -175 are available, as they are at the time of writing, 'Alex Michelsen +1.5 Set Handicap' is a bet worth placing. Sure, Jiri Lehecka has been in hot form of late, but he's had bigger fish to fry. The Czech player was involved in a tough final on Sunday. As a result, he likely isn't ideally prepared for this first-round match, which the American player has had longer to get ready for. What's more, Michelsen came out on top when the pair last met on a hard court.

Our Alex Michelsen vs Jiri Lehecka Prediction
Alex Michelsen has not made a habit of losing in straight sets in recent times, losing only two of his last 12 matches without picking up a set, and given that he's up against a tired player, a player who has had no time whatsoever to get ready for this event, the American should be more than capable of laying down a greater challenge for the win than the early market anticipates.
After all, Michelsen came out on top when he last faced Lehecka on a hard court.
Our Alex Michelsen vs Jiri Lehecka Pick: Alex Michelsen +1.5 Set Handicap.
