World number 19 Jiri Lehecka will face world number 110 Toby Samuel at the US Open on Wednesday. On paper, this should be an open-and-shut case, but tennis is not always that simple, especially not at Flushing Meadows, where funny things can happen. Samuel has already defied the odds by defeating a much higher-ranked player during the first round, so don't be surprised if this is less simple Lehecka would like.
Toby Samuel may be ranked outside the top 100, but that could soon be about to change. The 23-year-old is clearly enjoying himself at Flushing Meadows, where he's nicely adjusted to the conditions having played three qualifiers, before defeating a top-60 player in straight sets during the first round. Such a win should leave the British competitor full of confidence, and if he can deliver even a slightly better effort, then he should be able to make this match very uncomfortable for Jiri Lehecka, who has struggled to dominate in recent weeks, despite being a top-20 player.

Our Jiri Lehecka vs Toby Samuel Prediction
As touched on above, Toby Samuel is improving, while he's taken well to the Flushing Meadows conditions. That straight-set win over Tomas Machac suggests that he can compete here, especially as Jiri Lehecka has not bagged a straight-set win in any of his last four hard-court matches, while he hasn't defeated a hard-court opponent by more than a six-game margin since March, which makes the time-of-writing odds look too generous to ignore.
