Tsitsipas vs Lehecka: match preview
Jiri Lehecka has written his name in lights by stunning three seeds in a row, and world No.4 Stefanos Tsitsipas is the next big beast in his crosshairs. For the past few years the Greek star has been the perennial bridesmaid. Is he now about to be upstaged by the tournament's Cinderella? Read on to find out how to watch a Tsitsipas vs Lehecka live stream from anywhere – and ways to watch Australian Open tennis absolutely FREE.
Tsitsipas has been such a consistent presence at the business end of slams for so long that it's easy to forget that he's still only 24. Until he secures that first major piece of silverware though, questions will be asked about his title-winning credentials. The affection between Tsitsipas, the Australian Open and the Melbourne crowds means there always tends to be a feeling around the No.3 seed, but the way he somehow managed to save 22 of 26 break points against Jannik Sinner on Sunday has really fuelled the sense that this could finally be his year.
World No.71 Lehecka, however, has different ideas. He's comprehensively beaten No.21 seed Borna Coric, No.11 seed Cameron Norrie and No.6 seed Felix Auger-Aliassime already, outscoring them by 18 games and delighting unsuspecting locals in the process. He's also beaten Alexander Zverev this year, and is assured of a place in the top 40 of the world rankings whatever happens next. Not bad for a guy whose previous best performance at a major was an opening round defeat.
