Lehecka in straight sets.
Well, if we apply a bit of logic to this, which might be a stretch for some of our listeners, it's apparent Jiri Lehecka's been playing a better game as of late. He's gotten especially handy at serving up a batch of hot defeat and boasting the number 8 seed doesn't hurt either.
On the other side of the net, our friend Benjamin Bonzi, the unseeded wonder, has experienced a bit of a hamster wheel of performance lately. Wins and losses going back and forth like they're in a dance off – where's a judge panel when you need one, am I right?
Now don't forget their last rendezvous. Lehecka had poor Bonzi chasing around love like a schoolboy at a dance – 3 sets he took straight; apparently, the taste of victory was too good to share.
Unless our good man Bonzi has had a revelation on his backhand or found a rabbit’s foot in his racket bag, - no offense meant to the rabbit - it's looking quite clear cut for Jiri Lehecka. So here's the cheque you've all been waiting for...
Albert's Prediction: Lehecka in straight sets.
