Valentin Vacherot vs Jiri Lehecka Prediction & Picks - Rolex Paris Masters

Prediction published on 10/28/25, 2:14 AM  by Lou Aguila in Rolex Paris Masters Picks

Shanghai Masters champion Valentin Vacherot of Monaco has emerged as a tempting underdog at +185 ahead of his first-round clash with Jiri Lehecka of the Czech Republic at the 2025 Paris Masters.

Current Form:

After his spectacular run in Shanghai, Vacherot will now attempt the improbable by staging another deep run in the final ATP 1000 event of the year. Vacherot is coming into the event as the No.40 men’s singles player in the world and one of the sleeper picks in this indoor event. He competed at the 2025 Swiss Indoors Basel, falling to Taylor Fritz 6-4, 6-7, 5-7 in an action-packed second-round match. The loss ended Vacherot’s 9-match winning streak, yet his effort proved once again that he possesses the skills to go toe-to-toe with elite opponents.

Testing Vacherot’s mettle in Paris is Jiri Lehecka, a legitimate ATP top-20 player. Lehecka has achieved mixed results in his last two indoor tournaments, reaching the final of the 2025 ATP Brussels, where he lost to Felix Auger-Aliassime 6-7, 7-6, 2-6, and crashing out in the second round of the Swiss Indoors Basel following a shocking 2-6, 2-6 loss to Botic Van de Zandschulp.
