Jiri Lehecka vs Raphael Collignon Prediction

Jiri Lehecka, currently ranked 21, boasts a form index of 74.16 and an Elo rating of 1952.69, indicating strong current performance. His surface strength index of 17.47 highlights his proficiency on hard courts. In contrast, Raphael Collignon is ranked 105, with a form index of 58.84 and a significantly lower Elo rating of 589.36. Both players share a cumulative fatigue of 348 minutes in this tournament, but Lehecka's higher surface strength index suggests he is better equipped for the conditions. Notably, Lehecka's mean serve index (97.56) exceeds Collignon's (94.30) by more than 5 points, which may be a decisive factor in their service games. Additionally, Lehecka's mean return index (85.12) is also stronger compared to Collignon's (91.09), albeit the difference here is less significant. In their recent performances, Lehecka has secured two victories at the US Open against Tomas Martin Etcheverry and Borna Coric, both matches lasting 174 minutes, indicating his ability to handle longer encounters. On the other hand, Collignon has shown resilience, winning his last two matches against Casper Ruud and Daniel Elahi Galan, although he had a setback against Nishesh Basavareddy in Winston-Salem. This inconsistency might hinder his chances against Lehecka, who appears more stable in his form.
