Lehecka Coming off Solid Davis Cup Showing
While Lehecka was shocked in the first round of the US Open by Aslan Karatsev, his overall performances this season have been solid. And it’s that solidity which has allowed him to break into the top 30 of the ATP Rankings for the first time in his career.
Lehecka enters this tournament on the back of three successive Davis Cup singles wins too, overcoming Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, Soon-woo Kwon and Laslo Djere. And before that fateful day at the US Open, Lehecka had gone all the way to the final of the Winston-Salem Open as well.
A quarterfinalist at the Australian Open earlier this season, Lehecka would like to end the year on a high by getting as close to the top 20 ranking as possible. A title win here will go a long way in helping him get close.
For now though, he had a first round bye and starts off an 1/3 favourite with bet365 to win this second round encounter.

Gerasimov Surprise for Zapata Miralles
Having needed to come through the qualifiers to clinch his place in the main draw, Gerasimov was able to overcome Bernabe Zapata Miralles in the first round of this tournament.
In a match that lasted an hour and 49 minutes, Gerasimov was able to get past his opponent 7-6 (5), 6-3 to notch up his first main draw win of the season. It came at a time when Gerasimov has fallen so far down the rankings charts that he was forced to participate in a couple of Futures events earlier this month.
Here though, he shrugged off Zapata Miralles’ attempts at a comeback when he was broken back twice after getting the lead. In the tie-breaker that followed in the first set, Gerasimov came back from 1-3 down to win it 7-5.
The second set was a lot more straightforward for Gerasimov, who lost just four points on serve in the first four games before breaking Zapata Miralles at 4-3. He soon served it out to 15 to clinch a second round place where he starts out a 21/10 underdog with bet365.
