Rankings & Form

Jiri Lehecka holds a clear ranking advantage at No. 12 with 2,470 ATP points compared to Alexander Blockx at No. 32 with 1,376 points. However, their recent form tells a different story: Lehecka has struggled lately, posting a 1-4 record in his last five matches, while Blockx is on a three-match winning streak. This contrast in momentum could play a key role in this Montreal clash.

Given their form, Blockx’s confidence might offset Lehecka’s ranking edge, leading to a competitive match likely stretching beyond straight sets.
