In-form Jiri Lehecka takes on home favorite Frances Tiafoe in the third round of the Cincinnati Open on Saturday. The 22 year old Czech star has endured an injury plagued 2024 season, but has been in scintillating form this week, knocking out Mariano Navone and No. 4 seed Daniil Medvedev in straight sets to reach the last 16. He faces another tough test against Tiafoe, who has produced two excellent displays to best Alejandro Davidovich Fokina and Lorenzo Musetti in his first two games. Overall, it has been a disappointing year for the US star, and he has yet to make it past the third round of any event.

Our Frances Tiafoe vs Jiri Lehecka Prediction

The bookmakers have the American as a marginal favorite, but there is every chance that this game will be extremely close. Tiafoe has the higher ranking, but Lehecka has been playing some inspired tennis this week and another victory will probably earn him a seeding at the upcoming US Open. Picking a winner is a very tough task and we would not recommend placing a bet on either player. However, the 2.23 on the game going to a deciding set looks like excellent value. Our prediction for Jiří Lehečka vs Frances Tiafoe is: Over 2.5 sets, +123 at BetMGM.
