Hubert Hurkacz vs Jiri Lehecka Prediction

It’s not often you get Hurkacz at evens to win on an indoor when he is the higher-ranked player. But it is only a matter of time before Lehecka makes his top 20 debut. In fact, it could happen after this tournament. I’m going with the overs here. There is a very good chance we’ll get at least a tie-break in one of the sets and the possibility of getting 23 games here rises significantly. Both players serve impeccably with Hurkacz just shading it in that department. The value pick is certainly backing the Hurkacz ML here, but the games spread is the less risky move.
