🔍 Match Breakdown

This matchup looks extremely tilted in Lehecka’s favor. He arrives with both confidence and results on grass, while Dellien comes in undercooked and uncomfortable on the surface.

Lehecka’s explosive baseline game and improved serve will be far too much for Dellien, who lacks the pace and positioning to handle aggressive shotmakers on grass. Unless Lehecka has a significant dip in focus, this should be straightforward.
