He also defeated Henri Laaksonen just a week ago at Monte Carlo. The Finn is yet to win a match on clay this year and this feels like a case when Lehecka&#8217;s momentum from the qualifying can help him get through it again.<\/span><br \/>\n<em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prediction: Lehecka in 3<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><a id=\"kSc5-XttSWtYS3qTTK1-nQ\" class=\"gie-single\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1238922795\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'kSc5-XttSWtYS3qTTK1-nQ',sig:'Omr0rwDEFiaFuncRPvr1JbFhqu4M3AxNOIi--ycmBDg=',w:'594px',h:'419px',items:'1238922795',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Thiago Monteiro vs Joao Sousa<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Head-to-head:<\/strong> Sousa 1-0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both players have been rather inconsistent recently, which makes their meeting a rather tough affair to predict. Joao Sousa scored a couple of quality wins in ATP Tour qualifying, while Thiago Monteiro sought to regain confidence through the Challenger Tour. The results were neither great nor poor and the Brazilian had such a long route in qualifying here, it might end up diminishing his chances.<\/span><br \/>\n<em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prediction: Sousa in 3<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><a id=\"yzGuv71NQoh7P0KDryU_ZA\" class=\"gie-single\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1365285781\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'yzGuv71NQoh7P0KDryU_ZA',sig:'8hrlt03WqmVFBowv9OUZCryNvQzytmX8Ze7OvSBGUVU=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1365285781',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Alejandro Tabilo vs Oscar Otte<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Head-to-head:<\/strong> First meeting<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alejandro Tabilo will have a pretty short turnaround from the Sarasota Challenger, where he lost in the semifinals to Daniel Elahi Galan. Jet lag plus changing from green clay to the European dirt might result in a tough opening match for the Chilean.
