Jiri Lehecka vs Benjamin Bonzi Prediction & Picks - ATP Australian Open

Prediction published on 1/16/25, 5:22 AM by Bradley Gibbs | Modified on 1/16/25 at 5:28 AM in ATP Australian Open Picks

Another of the interesting matches taking place on the ATP side of things at the Australian Open on Friday, during the very early hours for those in the US, is the one between Jiri Lehecka and Benjamin Bonzi. The French player has been in good form of late, and he certainly did well to beat David Goffin in the first round, before beating the lower-ranked Francesco Passaro in the second round. However, this is a sizable step up, one that he may not be able to take in his stride as he faces a higher-ranked Czech opponent who has looked very strong on a hard surface for some time.

Our Jiri Lehecka vs Benjamin Bonzi Prediction

Let's be honest, Benjamin Bonzi will definitely fancy himself to make life tough for Jiri Lehecka, but can he get the better of this higher-ranked player in a five-set match. For my money, the answer is a firm no. Moreover, Lehecka looks a good bet to win by at least a two-set margin, as he did when the pair last met. If we look at the recent form of both, Lehecka is clearly operating at a higher level than his opponent, who recently lost in straight sets to Nicolas Jarry. In contrast, Lehecka beat Jarry in straight sets just a few weeks ago. Therein lies the difference. Our Pick: Jiri Lehecka -1.5 Set Handicap.
