Lehechka vs. Tsitsipas. ATP Antwerp Match Forecast
Lehechka and Tsitsipas will meet in the quarterfinals of the tournament in Antwerp on October 18. Tsitsipas has been extremely unconvincing lately. The Greek tennis player has not been able to return to his previous level. Stefanos is vulnerable, which Lehechka can actually take advantage of. Which of the opponents should you give preference to in this match? - the analysis of the match and bets on it are in our forecast.
Command Analysis
Jiri Lehecka
Czech RepublicCurrent form
Lehečka beat Daniel Altmaier in two sets (6-4, 6-3) in the second round of the competition in Antwerp. In the match against the German, he served six aces, converted three break points and did not lose a single game on his serve. For Jiri, this was the third victory in five indoor matches this season.
Professional qualities
Lehečka has a powerful serve, but his game is centered around the forehand, which solves most of the problems on the court. This is the Czech main attacking element, thanks to which he creates pressure on his opponents. With the backhand, Jiri acts cautiously, often playing in a defensive manner, trying to run under the right hand and hit a reverse cross.
Current indicators in the tour
Lehečka is ranked 33rd in the world. The Czech tennis player has shown quite good results this season. In particular, this year, Jiri won the trophy in Adelaide at the beginning of the year. For him, it was the first ATP category trophy in his career.
Interesting facts for betting
After the injury, Lehechka won nine games in 15 matches.
Stefanos Tsitsipas
GreeceCurrent form
Tsitsipas broke the resistance of Thiago Seyboth Wilde in a three-set match (7-6, 4-6, 7-5) in the second round of the competition in Antwerp. Stefanos served five aces, converted one break point and lost one game on his serve during the match. The Greek has two wins in two indoor matches this season.
Professional qualities
Tsitsipas relies heavily on his serve, which is the foundation of his attacking style. The Greek often wins points using a combination of a powerful serve and going to the half court or net, where he finishes rallies in a favorable position. In rallies, he relies on his forehand, although in the past he could successfully surprise opponents with backhand conversions.
Current indicators in the tour
This season, Tsitsipas added to his trophy collection by winning the clay Masters in Monte Carlo. This title became his 12th ATP trophy in his career. Let us recall that the Greek is currently ranked 11th in the world rankings.
