Jiri Lehecka vs Benjamin Bonzi Preview

Jiri Lehecka is coming off a straight sets win over home qualifier Gilles Arnaud Bailly in his opening match at the European Open in Brussels. The match took 17 games to decide. Lehecka prevailed 6-3, 6-2 in an hour and 15 minutes.

Lehecka hit 11 aces and did not account for a single double fault in the victory. Lehecka landed 78% of first serves in play and won 83% of first serve points (30/36). He won 70% of second serve points (7/10) and saved the one break point he faced in the match.

Lehecka is taking part in the European Open for the first time. He’s posted a 39-19 record this season, having captured his second ATP title earlier this year at the Brisbane International. The Czech has reached his first quarterfinal since the US Open.

Benjamin Bonzi, for his part, won the all-French matchup against Valentin Royer. Bonzi, who had beaten Reilly Opelka in the first round, needed three sets to see off Royer. Bonzi won the first set in a tiebreak, but was broken midway through the second set as Royer held on the lead to level the match. 

Bonzi was able to regain his high level in the third set, breaking his countryman twice and holding to love in the final game to win the set 6-1. Bonzi hammered 10 aces and only one double fault in the match. He landed 65% of first serves in play and won 88% of first serve points (46/52). 

Jiri Lehecka vs Benjamin Bonzi Head-To-Head

Lehecka and Bonzi have met four times at all levels. Bonzi won their first meeting on clay at the 2021 Ostrava Challenger. Since then, it’s been all Lehecka. The Czech has won three in a row to take charge of this matchup.

Jiri Lehecka vs Benjamin Bonzi Prediction

Bonzi is tough to beat indoors. He’s got a supreme record from the Challengers and even his first ATP title was on this surface and conditions in Metz last season. If there were to be an upset in Brussels, this could be it with the Frenchman capable of matching Lehecka’s baseline efficiency from the baseline with his serve and clean winners.
