Jiri Lehecka vs Arthur Fils: AI Prediction | Games, Spread, Aces & Double Faults

Lehecka arrives as the higher-ranked player (No. 22) but with a lower Elo (1738.96) and a more modest form index (61.35) compared with Fils (rank 31, Elo 1850.46, form 88.91). Fatigue is a factor: Lehecka has logged 333 minutes in Miami versus Fils’ 253, which could matter late in rallies or deciding games. Surface strength is similar—Lehecka 60.40, Fils 64.28—so neither is at a major disadvantage on hard courts. Serve and return metrics strongly favor Fils. His mean serve index (97.70) is substantially higher than Lehecka’s (81.86), a gap large enough to influence free points on serve. The difference in mean return index is even starker—Fils 89.33 to Lehecka 41.06—suggesting Fils poses a much greater threat when receiving. Recent form supports both: Lehecka has won his last three matches in Miami (including a 145-minute win over Taylor Fritz), showing resilience through longer contests. Fils also boasts three straight victories, notably a quick 55-minute match versus Stefanos Tsitsipas and a 133-minute win over Valentin Vacherot, indicating both potency and the ability to close matches.
