Our Jiri Lehecka vs Rafael Jodar Prediction
The Difference Maker: Rafael Jodar won 24 of 28 first-serve points in his first meeting with Lehecka. In that match, Jodar converted 4 of 7 break-point chances to secure a straight-set win.
What to Expect: Jodar gets the win over Lehecka once again, and he will do this by dominating his first serve and forcing the Czech to commit bunches of unforced errors. Lehecka lives or dies with his high-risk, high-reward play style, while Jodar likes to grind out his opponents. If this match goes the distance, Jodar has proven many times this year that he can deliver big points in pressurized situations.
Fearless Forecast: Rafael Jodar wins 6-4, 4-6, 7-6
