Key facts

• This will be the first match between these two players
• Eubanks is five years older than Lehecka
• Lehecka is 45 spots higher in the rankings
• Eubanks is 135-103 all-time on hard while Lehecka is 27-15

This is a match in which both players are having their best opportunity to go deeper in a Grand Slam tournament. Eubanks is more experienced between the two but that is only in the number of matches played, not in the level. Lehecka is a much bigger potential than Eubanks ever was and will prove that today. Eubanks has a decent serve but he will not be able to win the match only with that. He plays short points with a lot of running on the net and many unforced errors from the baseline. Lehecka is more capable to stay longer in the relays and will make the difference today. This will be a routine win for Lehecka with Eubanks winning a maximum of one set.
