Jiri Lehecka will be facing off against Raphael Collignon in round 3 of the US Open.
20th-seeded Jiri Lehecka will be going against Raphael Collignon in the 3rd round of the 2025 US Open. While Lehecka is coming off a series of tough matches, Collignon is here after being part of a massive upset against Casper Ruud. As a result, the chances of this match being the highlight of round 3 are quite high. But then, who will prevail in this unlikely clash? Let’s dive deep using the most accurate betting odds provided by BetMGM.
On paper, Jiri Lehecka is an easy favorite for this match and for a good reason. He’s a 20th-seeded player with a 30-17 record this year. Even though both of the matches in this year’s US Open have gone to the 4th set, one can’t deny that Lehecka should ideally pose to be a big challenge for Raphael Collignon but that’s where the things start to get tricky.
Nobody expected Raphael Collignon to reach the third round of the US Open. While his overall record this year is 26-16, Collignon’s ATP Tour record is just 1/7 in ATP Tour (excluding the US Open). However, Collignon first defeated the Lucky Loser Daniel Elahi Galan in round 1. Then Collignon went on to win a 5-set thriller against the 12th seeded Casper Ruud. Certainly, that’s an impressive run but more importantly a potential cause for worry for Lehecka. If Collignon’s hot run continues, things would get rather difficult for Lehecka.
This is the first time Jiri Lehecka and Raphael Collignon are facing each other in an ATP Tour match.
| Jiri Lehecka | Category | Raphael Collignon |
|---|---|---|
| 21 | Current Rank | 107 |
| 30/17 | YTD W/L | 1/7 |
| 1 | YTD Titles | 0 |
| 107/83 | Career W/L | 1/10 |
| 2 | Career Titles | 0 |
Unless Raphael Collignon finds that magic again, this should be a rather comfortable win for Jiri Lehecka. However, two important points will decide this match’s result. First being Collignon’s form and second being Lehecka’s rhythm. The 23-year-old hasn’t had a convincing win this year’s US Open yet. That lack of rhythm could prove fatal against a hot Collignon.
Match Prediction – Jiri Lehecka in 4 sets.
BIGGEST win of his career 👏

A passionate sports fan since childhood, it was always my dream to cover the peak of human potential. Baseball, Tennis, and Football (or Soccer) have been closest to my heart. From Rafael Nadal’s never-say-die attitude to Roger Federer’s beautiful backhand, I’ve seen it all. Prior to the Playoffs, I’ve worked in EssentiallySports and Pro Football and Sports Network.

Perhaps that’s why I love indulging in some fun banter and always try to inculcate a debate through my work. That’s why I encourage the readers to express their views freely – after all, that’s what makes sports fun.
