Lehecka and Munar are on the Day 2 Schedule at European Open 2024 on Tuesday 15 October 2024. Lets breakdown the career, past stats and recent form of these players and predict who will get the victory.

Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?

Jiri Lehecka, from the Czech Republic, has a head-to-head record of 1-0 against Jaume Munar from Spain. This match took place in the 24th ATP Masters 1000 tournament in Shanghai, China, on a hard court. Lehecka won the match with a score of 7-6(6) 6-4.

Lehecka, 22 years old and ranked 33rd in the world, achieved his career-high ranking of 23 in January 2024. He accomplished this after winning his first ATP Tour title in Adelaide. Notably, he defeated the World No. 5, Andrey Rublev, to reach the semi-finals at the 2023 Doha tournament. Lehecka also reached his first ATP Masters 1000 quarter-finals at the 2024 Indian Wells, defeating the No. 4 player, Daniil Medvedev, in the process. He continued to impress at the 2024 Madrid tournament by reaching his first ATP Masters 1000 semi-finals. In previous tournaments, he reached the quarter-finals of the 2023 Australian Open, defeating No. 12 Cameron Norrie in the third round and No. 7 Felix Auger-Aliassime in the fourth round. Additionally, Lehecka had a breakthrough performance as a qualifier at the 2022 Rotterdam tournament by reaching his first ATP Tour semi-finals.

Lehecka’s journey in tennis started early, winning the 2019 Wimbledon boys’ doubles title with his fellow countryman, Jonas Forejtek. He also achieved the runner-up position at the 2022 Next Gen ATP Finals when he celebrated his 21st birthday.

It is worth noting that Lehecka aims to become the second Czech match winner in the history of the tournament, after Jiri Vesely in 2018. Vesely defeated Munar in the first round of that tournament but lost to Richard Gasquet in the second round. Lehecka has demonstrated a strong performance in opening-round matches this year, with a record of 10 wins and 2 losses. He has won his last five opening-round matches and has won 9 out of his last 10 matches against players ranked outside the top 50. However, he did suffer a loss to No. 62 Roberto Bautista Agut at the Davis Cup last month.

On the other hand, Jaume Munar, 27 years old and currently ranked 65th in the world, achieved his career-high ranking of 52 in May 2019. He had a successful 2022 season, finishing the year at a year-end high of No. 58. He earned a personal-best 19 wins and qualified for four ATP Masters 1000 events.

Munar’s notable achievements include defeating his countryman, Carlos Alcaraz, before losing to Pablo Carreno Busta in his first ATP Tour final at the 2021 Marbella tournament. He has achieved two wins against players ranked in the top 10, defeating No. 3 Alexander Zverev in the second round of the 2019 Marrakech tournament and No. 3 Casper Ruud in the first round of the 2022 Tokyo tournament. In his Challenger career, Munar has a record of 141 wins and 71 losses, with 10 wins in finals. He has won at least one title every season since 2017.

Munar is currently seeking his first indoor win since the 2022 Antwerp tournament, where he defeated Tim van Rijthoven in the first round. On hard courts, Munar has a record of 5 wins and 24 losses against players ranked in the top 50. In 2024, he has won only one match against a top 50 player, defeating No. 48 Alexei Shevchenko at the Australian Open. Additionally, Munar has yet to win a deciding set on the tour-level this year, with a record of 0-10.
