Command Analysis

Jiri Lehecka

Current form
Lehechka won the quarterfinals of the tournament in Brisbane against Nicholas Jarry (6-4, 6-4). In the confrontation with the Chilean tennis player, Jiri hit ten aces, converted two break points and did not lose a single game on his serve. Earlier in the tournament, the Czech had beaten Yoshihito Nishioka and Holger Rune.
Professional qualities
Legečka initially focused on clay courts, but over time he was able to significantly improve his results on hard courts. The Czech works well on serve, regularly earning aces or finding comfortable positions for attacking shots. The main bet in rallies is on the forehand, which Jiri has set at a high level. He often uses runs under this shot to compensate for the lack of aggression on the two-handed backhand. However, in protracted rallies with stable opponents, his weak side can become a problem.
Current indicators in the tour
Lehechka is ranked 28th in the world. Jiri won his first ATP title last season. He won it on the courts of Adelaide, where he beat Jack Draper in the final.
Interesting facts for betting
Lehechka statistics in the last six matches are five wins and one loss.

Grigor Dimitrov

Dimitrov reached the semi-finals of the competition in Brisbane on the refusal of Jordan Thompson, who withdrew from the match at 1-6, 1-2. Grigor in the match against the Australian in 47 minutes of playing time made one ace, realized three break points and did not lose a single game on his serve. Earlier in the tournament, the Bulgarian beat Aleksandar Vukic and Yannick Hanfmann.
Professional qualities
Dimitrov is a versatile player and one of the most technical players in modern tennis. On hard courts, his game is revealed most vividly due to his excellent physical preparation and a diverse arsenal of strokes. Grigor feels confident in attack, serves powerfully and actively hits with his forehand. Particular attention is drawn to his one-handed backhand, which, despite the complexity of execution, allows the Bulgarian to effectively conduct rallies on the move and even in defense. Thanks to his excellent movements around the court and the ability to change the pace, the Bulgarian is able to impose a fight on almost any opponent.

Dimitrov is defending last year title on the courts of Brisbane. Last season, he beat Holger Rune in the decisive match. This was the ninth ATP title in the Bulgarian career. Grigor is currently in tenth place in the world rankings.
