by Edgar Jibran in ATP Mutua Madrid Open Picks
The last match of the round of 16 is scheduled to be disputed next Tuesday, April 30th, when Rafael Nadal faces Jiri Lehecka at 01:30 pm Central Time in a match that is called to be one of the most important of Lehecka’s career, so he must show all his skills to try to win this match as early as possible.
In this regard, Rafael Nadal is showing a very trusty level in Madrid, as he has been able to eliminate De Minaur and Cachin during the last two rounds. However, despite all the positive emotions that having one of the best tennis players in the history can cause, it is necessary to remark that he made a huge effort during his 3 hours match against Cachin, so he must avoid making unnecessary efforts throughout this match against Lehecka.
On the other hand, Jiri Lehecka also had a very long inactivity period after getting eliminated from the Master 1000 in Miami due to an injury, but even with that, he was able to win the first two rounds of Madrid in two straight sets against players like Medjedovic and Monteiro. Nevertheless, it’s very clear that both players aren’t even close to Nadal’s level so Lehecka should be prepared for a very tough match.
