Raphael Collignon faces Jiri Lehecka in the ATP Brussels for a place in the quarter-finals, bringing a strong record against top 20 players and the support of the home crowd. Both competitors serve well and thrive in indoor conditions that often produce tiebreaks. Their previous meeting saw Lehecka win in straight sets. Collignon, now seemingly healthy after injury setbacks, is considered a value pick for an upset, with at least one tiebreak likely, given the trends and playing styles.

Jiri Lehecka vs Raphael Collignon ATP Brussels Tips, Prediction & Live Stream


Raphael Collignon has a positive record against top 20 opponents as the home hope prepares to face Jiri Lehecka for a spot in the European Open quarter-finals on Thursday, while the slick indoor conditions lend themselves to plenty of tiebreaks.

I want to take a punt on Collignon here.

The Belgian looks to have recovered from a recent injury setback and in my eyes, he's easily a top 30 talent when fit.

Collignon has a 5-4 record against top 20 players and with the home crowd behind him, he has a good chance for the upset here.

The margins are often small in indoor tennis, so Collignon at $3.60 appeals.

As does 1+ tiebreak.

Lehecka made the final of this tournament last year and he played a total of five tiebreaks, while Collignon - a semi-finalist in 2025 - saw 1+ tiebreak in all four of his matches.

Both players serve well and the even money on offer for a breaker looks good for me.
  • Lehecka has seen 1+ tiebreak in two of his last three matches
  • Lehecka has seen 1+ tiebreak in his last three matches in Brussels
  • Collignon has seen 1+ tiebreak in 10 of his last 14 matches
  • Collignon has seen 1+ tiebreak in his last four matches in Brussels
  • Collignon has a 5-4 record vs top 20 players, seeing 1+ tiebreak in five of last seven
  • Collignon has a 5-1 record in R2 matches at tour-level this season

Lehecka vs Collignon Head To Head

Lehecka leads 1-0, prevailing in straight sets at last year's US Open.

Jiri Lehecka Form Analysis

  • 2026 ATP Record: 35-19
  • ATP Brussels Record: 3-1
  • Current Ranking: No. 20
  • Career-High Ranking: No. 12 (May 2026)

It's been a solid season for Lehecka, who has maintained a top 20 ranking and he'll be looking for a strong finish to the year indoors.

Lehecka made his first Masters 1000 final in Miami at the start of the year and was impressive during the recent Asian swing, advancing to the Japan Open final in Tokyo, ultimately going down to Carlos Alcaraz.

The Czech was on the cusp of knocking out eventual finalist Rafael Jodar at the Shanghai Masters, but couldn't close out the second set tiebreak and succumbed 4-6 7-6(2) 6-4 in the third round.

Lehecka made the final of Brussels last year, going down in a tight three-setter to indoors specialit Felix Auger-Aliassime.

Raphael Collignon Form Analysis

  • 2026 ATP Record: 16-15
  • ATP Brussels Record: 4-1
  • Current Ranking: No. 55
  • Career-High Ranking: No. 37 (July 2026)

Collignon always seems to be dealing with slight injury concerns - he's been limited to just 15 tour-level events for the year. If he'd be able to play a full season, I think Collignon could be a top 20 player.

You won't find many players with a positive record over top 20 players ranked outside the top 50 - there's clear potential if he can just get his body right.

The 24-year-old made his first ATP final in Gstaad, where he played a tiebreak in all five of his matches, eventually falling to Stefanos Tsitsipas.

Collignon had been managing a knee injury and proceeded to lose his next six matches before taking a six-week break in hopes of recovering.

It looks as if Collignon is back to full health - in addition to partnering David Goffin in doubles this week, he overcame Nishesh Basavareddy 3-6 6-3 6-4 in his singles first round.
