Jan-Lennard Struff vs Jiri Lehecka Prediction
Jiri Lehecka is a strong favorite against Jan-Lennard Struff in this ATP Rome Masters second-round match, backed by superior ranking, head-to-head record, and recent form.
Jan-Lennard Struff host Jiri Lehecka at Rome, Italy on Friday, part of the 2026 WTA - Internazionali BNL d'Italia season. ATP/WTA rankings, surface form, and head-to-head record are factored into the model alongside the prediction below.
ATS PREDICTION
Jiri Lehecka Win
Predicted: 1-2
⚡68%
Jiri Lehecka is the clear favorite, boasting a significantly higher ATP ranking (No. 13 vs No. 81) and a dominant 2-0 head-to-head record against Jan-Lennard Struff, including a win on clay. Lehecka's recent form is superior, highlighted by a Masters 1000 final appearance in Miami, indicating he is playing at a high level. While Struff secured a straight-sets win in the first round, his overall recent form has been inconsistent, and Lehecka's consistent performance and historical advantage on clay make him the likely winner in this second-round match.
SPREAD PREDICTION
Lehecka -4.5 games (-4.5)
68%
Lehecka's superior ranking, dominant 2-0 head-to-head record, and strong recent form suggest he should be able to win this match comfortably. Given his status as a heavy favorite, covering a -4.5 game spread is a reasonable expectation, especially on a surface where he has previously defeated Struff.
TOTAL PREDICTION
Over 22.5
60%
While Lehecka is favored, Struff possesses a powerful serve and aggressive game that can keep sets tight, as evidenced by his straight-sets win in the first round. A potential three-set match, or two competitive sets with tie-breaks, would push the total games over 22.5. Lehecka's previous clay encounter with Struff went to five sets, suggesting Struff can challenge him.
