A very interesting event was the tournament in Dubai, UAE, where we saw so many surprises. Still, the biggest favourite for winning the title, Daniil Medvedev, is playing, and the second-seeded in the scheme, Andrey Rublev, is also here. However, I liked another match to predict and it is between two very different players – Alexander Bublik and Jiri Lehecka.
Alexander Bublik vs Jiri Lehecka Betting Preview
Alexander Bublik literally survived yesterday in his match against Tallon Griekspoor. He played two tie-breaks, and he could even lose them. However, his nerves were bigger, and he managed to overcome the drops he had during the match. I do not think that Bublik is feeling so well on the court now, but a game with a game is not the same. He had already played against a Czech player in their tournament – Tomas Machac- and he was very close to being eliminated (he won the games 2-6, 6-3, 7-6).
On the other side, Jiri Lehecka is probably one of the best Czech players at the moment. He won against Karen Khachanov, who lifted the title in Doha last Saturday. I can say that Lehecka made a good choice to skip the competition in Qatar, which was from the ATP 250 series and play refreshed in Dubai, which is from the ATP 500 series. In the first round, the Czech eliminated Marton Fucsovics, who is a dangerous player. It seems the conditions in UAE are perfect for him, and he is playing decent tennis.

Betting Tip – Alexander Bublik vs Jiri Lehecka
Based on the facts and what I am seeing now in both players, I think that Lehecka will win this match. He is very solid from the baseline, and at some rallies, I even think that he cannot lose the point. Bublik already won two tough matches, and in his last 3 sets played in this tournament, he played 3 tie-breaks. I think that this might turn wrong at some point, and he will lose one, especially if a tie-break occurs in the match against Lehecka. If the Czech is serving well and he does not allow any easy breaks, I do not think he will lose the match.
