Taylor Fritz, the No. 6 seed, is through to the last 16 at the ATP Miami Open. He aims to extend his record against Jiri Lehecka.
Fritz’s Recent Form
Fritz’s form is trending upwards after early losses. His Top 10 status was under threat. Back-to-back wins in Miami have eased the pressure.
Lehecka’s Miami Run
Jiri Lehecka addressed his poor record in Miami with two solid wins. He ended NextGen wild card Moise Kouame’s interest in the tournament. Lehecka then beat Ethan Quinn to reach the last 16 for the first time.
Fritz v Lehecka: Head-to-Head
The head-to-head record between Fritz and Lehecka is 4-1 in Fritz’s favour. Lehecka won a critical singles match against Fritz when they met in the Davis Cup last year, as Czechia stunned the USA. Both will enter this match with similar recent form, although Fritz’s serve and familiarity with this matchup should still give him an edge.
