Lehecka qualified for the final after defending champion Grigor Dimitrov was forced to retire injured in the semis. The Czech Lehecka, who won his maiden ATP crown in Adelaide last year, was leading 6-4, 4-4 and had not faced a break point when the match was brought to a premature conclusion.
"The first thing is that you come here to Australia from Europe, so immediately you feel good," said the 23-year-old, who has only dropped a single set through the week. "That's the first thing, which is very important.
"It doesn't matter if it's Perth, Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne or Sydney – all these cities are nice. The people are nice. The tournaments are very well-organised, which helps you a lot through the first days of the year."
Up against him would be the man who stunned Novak Djokovic in the quarters - Opelka. In the semi-finals, Opelka prevailed 6-3, 7-6 (7-4) over Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard after 85 minutes.
