Lehecka enters the match with strong recent momentum. He reached the final of the Miami Open last month. He has also won his first two Monte-Carlo matches in straight sets.
Alexander Bublik has also started the tournament steadily. He defeated Gael Monfils in straight sets on Tuesday. Bublik also holds a one-to-zero career advantage over Lehecka.
That sole prior meeting was a quarterfinal in Dubai during 2024. Both players are currently reported to be at full fitness. They will compete in mild conditions of around seventeen degrees Celsius.
