THE PREDICTION
World number 20 Roberto Bautista Agut will be hugely relieved to have beaten Jurij Rodionov on Wednesday in a first win since contracting covid-19 at Wimbledon earlier this month. However, the 34-year-old’s matches must still be treated with caution as back-to-back matches may still be too much of a test, something we have seen fairly regularly in other players after contracting the virus. Furthermore, world number 68 Jiri Lehecka is a tough foe to draw as something of a rising star and the 20-year-old can break his career-high ATP ranking of 65th with one more win after taking out Thiago Monteiro and Joao Sousa so far. Clay should favour the Spaniard over Lehecka, whose best performances this season have come on hardcourts, but there is altitude to consider at Kitzbuhel that could level things up – particularly if RBA has any breathing-related side effects lingering from covid-19. Head over heart suggests the shrewd move is backing Lehecka to win here but taking the Czech to earn at least a set is the suitably cautious pick.
