Carlos Alcaraz vs Jiri Lehecka prediction
The maiden face-off between Alcaraz and Lehecka at the 2023 Queen's Club Championships is primed to be a captivating encounter.
Despite a semifinal setback at the 2023 French Open, the Spaniard boasts an impressive record this season. Known for his powerful groundstrokes and agile court movement, Alcaraz's form suggests he'll enter the match with confidence.
Contrastingly, Lehecka's record on grass this season stands evenly at 1-1. After a disappointing loss to Frances Tiafoe at the Stuttgart Open, he would be eager to turn the tide on grass.
While Alcaraz may seem to have the upper hand, Lehecka's powerful serve and flat groundstrokes can potentially disrupt the World No. 2's rhythm. If Lehecka can capitalize on his strengths and limit the unforced errors, an upset might be on the cards.
Pick: Alcaraz in three sets.
