Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction One – Handicap (-1) for Monteiro – 1.79.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Games Over 22 – 1.64.
Monteiro is a profile clay player. Just recently, Thiago won the Challenger in Salzburg, so he is now in good playing condition. So, we expect him to get off to a strong start in Kitzbühel.
Monteiro is the favourite to win, but he has rarely won by a wide margin in recent times. We believe that Lehecka will not leave the court without a fight.
Lehecka is having a good season overall. He has been especially good on clay courts this year. For example, he reached the quarter-finals of the Challenger in Santiago.
He also reached the Challenger final in Mauthausen in which he lost in two games to Jurij Rodionov (4-6, 4-6). Last week, Lehecka took part in the Swiss Open, where he was defeated by Casper Ruud (3-6, 4-6) in the second round.
Lehecka has been through to the first round in his last three tournaments.
Monteiro already has one trophy to his credit this season. In early July, he defeated Norbert Gombos (6-3, 7-6) in the final game of the Salzburg Challenger.
Monteiro played in Gstaad last week and lost in the first round to Nicolas Jarry (7-6, 6-7, 6-7
