On the other hand, Czech Jiri Lehecka had a 4-set match against Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime after beating Coric, Eubanks and Norrie in the first three rounds, respectively. This player is ranked #71 in the world in the ATP and here we will see how his stats were against Auger-Aliassime, a match that ended 4-6, 6-3, 7-6(2), 7-6(3).
To begin with, what most helped the Czech Lehecka to overcome the Canadian was his serve, which he managed to finish with 69% of good first serves and an effectiveness of 83%; with his second serve he won 64% of the points. In addition, it had a truly impressive average first service speed of 192km/h.
Although he won only 25% of the break points, he won 80% of the points at the net and launched a total of 39 winners. Another of his most powerful weapons is that he tries to play with many shots such as volleys, approach to the net, passing shots, drop shots, among others.
JefeBet Prediction
This will be an exciting match that will keep us glued to our seats, and the winner will truly be decided by consistency and experience. This is why, although Lehecka is a great player and has beaten Auger-Aliassime, he will probably not be able to handle an opponent as tough as Tsitsipas in these quarterfinals of the Australian Open 2023.
Prediction: Stefanos Tsitsipas wins in 4 sets.
