Jiri Lehecka vs. Taylor Fritz odds, picks, and predictions

Taylor Fritz is looking every bit a US Open contender this summer.

The American had a terrific grass-court season with two titles and a trip to the semifinals at Wimbledon, and he’s now one of the favorites to win the 2025 Canadian Masters in Toronto.

Fritz is -275 to beat Jiri Lehecka, who has endured an inconsistent season after starting the year off with a title in Brisbane.

ATP Toronto: Fritz vs. Lehecka odds, predictions

Lehecka looked like he was on his way to cracking the top 20 in the early stages of 2025. The native of Czechia won a title in Brisbane out of the gates this season, and then followed that up with a trip to the Round of 16 at the Australian Open.

A few weeks later, Lehecka defeated Carlos Alcaraz in the quarterfinals of ATP Doha, officially putting the tennis world on notice.

Unfortunately, Lehecka’s performance for the next chunk of the season was middling, but he did seem to find his game over the summer.

Lehecka finished runner-up to Alcaraz at ATP London, beating Jack Draper in the semifinals and Alex de Minaur in the Round of 32.

The 23-year-old was disappointing at Wimbledon, and then was ousted by de Minaur in the Round of 16 at ATP Washington, but overall, things are pointing in the right direction. Only more so after a couple of gritty wins at the Canadian Masters.

Fritz was always going to be susceptible to an upset in Washington because of fatigue, and the way he lost to Alejandro Davidovich Fokina was a shock, but he’s yet to really put a foot wrong in Canada.

He should be fresh and at his best on Sunday night, but Lehecka is playing at a level to provide a stiff test for the American.

This should be a high-quality match, putting the Over 23.5 games on our radar for a play.
