Lehecka vs Goffin: ATP Marseille preview and betting tips

The Czech number one will also play at the tennis tournament in Marseille. Jiri Lehecka will face a very unpleasant Belgian in the first round. The Lehecka vs Goffin match will start on Tuesday, February 6, at 19:30 at the earliest.

• Jiri Lehecka failed to win the opening Grand Slam tournament of the 2024 calendar year and will try to make amends in Marseille. He didn’t compete here last year, so he has no points to defend
• Although David Goffin is only in the second 100 of the ATP rankings, he is still a force to be reckoned with. He successfully qualified in Marseille, so he will have a certain advantage

Lehecka’s inconsistency, Goffin’s advantage

Lehecka has lost six of his last seven matches in the 2023 calendar year. He was unlucky in the United Cup, but then dominated the event in Adelaide. At the Australian Open, he surprisingly dropped out in the second round.

The 22-year-old Czech player cannot rely on consistent performances. This is not a big surprise given his age. He is currently ranked 32nd in the ATP rankings.

Goffin showed at the Australian Open that he is a force to be reckoned with. First of all, he went through the pitfalls of the three-round qualification, then in the main stage of the tournament he showed a good performance against the Frenchman Humbert, to whom he did not give anything for free.

Here in Marseille he also successfully passed the qualification, so he will have an undeniable advantage in Tuesday’s duel, as he has already got used to the conditions there.

Betting tip – Goffin to win

The best of David Goffin’s tennis career is probably behind him, but the former world number seven still has to be reckoned with. Moreover, the thirty-three-year-old Belgian has won both of their encounters on clay. He will probably not be without chances to advance now either.
