Lehečka vs Fils Prediction
Both players have been dominant on serve, with Lehečka winning 81% of the first-serve points and Fils winning 81% of the first-serve points. Both of them have yet to get their serve broken once in the whole tournament, with the Frenchman saving 11 of the break points he has faced and the Czech saving 9 of the break points he has conceded.
However, Fils is ahead on second-serve stats, winning 70% of the points behind that shot, compared to Lehečka’s 62%.
Tournament stats and head-to-head record make Fils the favorite in the upcoming match, which is reflected by the PFSN Tennis Simulator, which has given a 60% win probability to the Frenchman. However, he is coming off an injury and has just played an energy-sapping match against Paul, which might give Lehečka the upper hand if the match is a long one.
Pick: Lehečka to win in three sets
