Jakub Kleprlik and Tomas Tregler are set to cross paddles this afternoon as they meet for the sixth time in the Czech TT Star Series this month.
Kleprlik stumbles into this contest off the back off three straight defeats last night and will be feeling the pressure mounting to find a result here.
Alternatively, Tregler is seeing them like beach balls out there, winning his last five TT Star Series matches, while only dropping two sets across the trip.
Tregler has claimed three of the last four matches against Kleprlik, with the two most recent matches both finishing 3-1 to Tregler.
I’m backing Tregler’s impressive winning streak to extend to six, although Kleprlik has managed to pick up at least one set in his last five outings and I’m confident he’ll steal another one here.
Dmitrij Prokopcov will take on Miroslav Horejsi in the Czech TT Star Series tonight.
The ball is finding the middle of the paddle for both players of late, Prokopcov has won his last four outings, while Horejsi has been victorious across his last three.
Prokopcov has dominated this fixture in the past, winning five of the last seven meetings between the two, four of which were under five sets.
I’m backing this trend to continue, though Horejsi current hot form should see him claim one set.
