Novak Djokovic vs Jiri Lehecka Prediction

Novak Djokovic does not look like he has lost a step as the Serb legend continues to ease through the rounds in Melbourne.

His performances in the first two rounds were solid but the way he dismantled Tomas Machac in the third round was particularly impressive.

He now meets Jiri Lehecka and he will know he will have to be fully focused against the Czech player.

Lehecka has done well so far but his route to this stage has been gentle to say the least. He is more than capable of raising his game significantly but that will not be easy against Djokovic.

The Serb will be fired up and we expect another clinic from him, as he likely progresses to the quarters.

Novak Djokovic vs Jiri Lehecka Tip: Novak Djokovic to win 3-0 or 3-1
