Command Analysis
Jiri Lehecka
Czech RepublicCurrent form
Lehečka defeated Li Tu in the first round of the Australian Open (6-1, 3-6, 6-3, 7-6). Jiri hit 13 aces, converted three break points and lost one game on his serve in the match against the Australian. This season, the Czech has six wins on open hard courts and no losses.
Professional qualities
Lehechka is a serve-oriented player, and most of the time he tries to control the game from the baseline, where he actively uses his powerful forehand. By running under his right hand, he often poses a threat to his opponents, although he also has a good backhand. However, his weakness is his movement around the court, which makes him vulnerable during long rallies.
Current indicators in the tour
Lehechka is the 29th number in the world ranking. During his career, Jiri has won eight trophies, two of which are ATP category. This year, we recall, the Czech managed to secure victory at the competition in Brisbane.

Lehechka winning streak this season is six games.
Hugo Gaston
FranceCurrent form
Gaston was stronger than Omar Jasiki (6-2, 3-6, 6-2, 6-2) in the first round of the Australian Open. In the match against the Australian, Hugo served 12 aces, converted seven break points and lost two games on his serve. For the Frenchman, this was the first victory in the new season in three matches played.
Professional qualities
Gaston is a small but creative Frenchman who relies on moving quickly around the court and coming up with creative solutions. His height of 173 cm affects his ability to hit powerful shots, and he often has to compensate for this by being creative and looking for unexpected solutions in his attack. Although this can sometimes lead to mistakes, his unconventional approach makes him a dangerous opponent, especially on clay courts.
Current indicators in the tour
Gaston is number 81 in the world rankings. Hugo was once number 58. The Frenchman has won eight trophies in his career. Last year, he won the home clay court challenger in Lyon, where he beat Alexandre Muller in the final.
Interesting facts for betting
Hugo has lost 10 of 15 matches against players in the top 50 of the world rankings.

1.66Tip and bets
Gaston is a tenacious tennis player who will fight for every ball to the end. Hugo is capable of returning even the most difficult balls to the court. We believe that Lehechka will have a hard time against the Frenchman. Especially considering that Jiri does not have enviable stability.
Our prediction is Gaston victory with a handicap of (+8) games at odds of 1.79

Jiri has an impressive record this season - six wins and no losses. However, the Czech has some weak points - for example, his forehand and not the best movement on the court. We think it will be tough for him against Gaston.

Bet on the first set
Three of Gaston last five matches have seen the first set go to fewer than 9.5 games, and the upcoming match against Lehechka is likely to start with a low first set as well.
