[@IHO2691]

Wow, Lehecka playing well. Love that he takes the ball early(on the rise) then rushes the net. And he looks to be a confident volleyer. That style of playing can mess up the baseliner players(most pro players). Congrats to Jiri Lehecka

[@allenjoseph8759]

Look, tsitsipas will beat him easy.

[@KingCast65]

Yup. Also FAA needs to work on his touch game.

[@IHO2691]

@@KingCast65 Yes, not just FAA. Lots of the top players are uncomfortable at the net or mid court. Probably because most players are tall and can easily cover the baseline. I think FAA is so fit for a tall guy and could easily develop a touch game. What I hope is these young players push each other to where the game becomes more all court style instead of just bashing away from the baseline. The drop shot has become so useful again because players are sitting so far behind the baseline and leave themselves exposed. I know a lot of this has to do with development of the equipment and the extreme fitness of today's pro players. But,to beat Novak (probably the best baseline player ever) you need to have a Plan B, attack the mid court and net. To beat Novak from the baseline is nearly impossible.

[@seazestyt]

Not surprised at all. I have been watching him and in my opinion Lehecka and Rune are the players who have showed the biggest improvement in the last 6 months. Of course there are Alcaraz Sinner, Felix, Korda, Tommy Paul,... but they have already proved themselves.

[@antonydandan6255]

What a composure Lehecka has! This AO has new faces stepping in and going deep in the tournament . Well done !

[@alexten9961]

A small Czech Republic gave the world so many great players.

[@Alfredul03]

I love that Lehecka advances and especially against a player who hits the ball hard. The Czech has excellent tennis, this school makes good players for this beautiful sport. My favorites in this tournament are Holger Rune and Lehecka, it would be fabulous and glorious if they both came and faced each other in the final of this AO 2023. IMHO!

[@Alfredul03]

Unfortunately Rune was eliminated from this tournament, but he was the precise candidate to play a final against a player like Lehecka, it would have been a final for young and new blood.

[@freddiegibbs101]

Upset Central, Australia. A one-off tournament or a sign of things to come? So many top seeds going down to lower or unranked ones. Been so used to the Big 3 (or 4) making it deep into the tournament for years, made it look easy when it's clearly not.

Great highlights, Australian Open Channel! Really like the pace, determination, the strokes produced by Lehecka, this guy is playing his ultimate tennis this tournament!

[@brettg1695]

Lehecka is so intelligent at net! This new crop of young ATP players on the rise (Korda, Alcaraz and Rune included) seem to have better all-court games and like to come in to the net, as opposed to last gen's strict baseliners like Medvedev, Zverev, Rublev and Felix.

[@user-sw8yd5py2s]

Felix does come to the net more certainly than the other 3 you mentioned, but some matches he just hugs the baseline and doesn't transition. Maybe it's because Lehecka was all over that first.

[@147pablox]

Felix and Korda have the same age, 22.

Does the AO social media committee read these comments? Why the F do you ruin highlights for everyone with the thumbnail?

[@valeriejohnson8771]

No tennis fan should be surprised that Felix was beaten by Lehecka. Felix is still too defensive minded in his play, and it shows more against guys who are know their way forward. Excited to see Rune advancing in the draw, and Korda. I haven’t watched Lehecka play, until last night. Let’s see how far he goes now.

[@andreten4780]

I actually think Felix topspin backhand is not as good as Jiri. Felix backhand is too wristy. Doesn't help him penetrate the court as much as other guys like Jiri, especially when Felix is caught playing that shot on the move

[@carelngounoue2008]

Felix still has a very bad habit of playing too defensive, especially against players who tape the baseline and are always looking to come forward, players like Lecheka. Felix also has to improve his backhand, it's so wristy and often causes him to hit backhands short.

[@Froshigi]

Ok the netflix special is definitely cursed now LOL

[@allenjoseph8759]

Felix beat himself serve percentage is low. Felix stands too much on the baseline, return serve should be under the opponent feets and get to the net often. Too many mistakes. Maybe he was tired.

[@tehatte]

I don’t know if he was tired or not but I know both his FH and BH are error prone due to a liitle too much/quick movement of the wrists in the wrist-lag initiation of the strokes. The momentum is high so he can generate pace and spin better but the downside is the inaccuracy at the contact of the ball. When at the ball contact if the racket head is slightly opens up it will likely result in a deep ball. I’ve noticed he hits deep and out balls a little more often than other players.

[@allenjoseph8759]

@@tehatte I don't know if noticed that, when felix serve he face breakpoints most of the time. When the opponent serve he gets out easy 40 -0 I know felix has a much better serve than him. Felix should play the court not the opponent, measure the court, use those angles. And felix should go to the net often to get him out of his rhythm.

[@jasonk4315]

Too many missed opportunities to come to the net. He's just not aggressive enough. To win from the baseline, you have to hit too many shots and be perfect.

[@allenjoseph8759]

@@jasonk4315 this kind of opponent felix should return the ball under his feets and get to the net often to distract him out of his rhythm. He's too strong on the baseline. Tsitsipas will beat him easy.

[@tehatte]

@@allenjoseph8759 I agree he needs to go to the net more often to finish the point when possible. Some players just have a style of staying back and hitting from the baseline. The coach needs to work with the player on changing that.
