I don't see why Lucy would have any problem against Ajeel. First off both use sand magic. Lucy also has water magic to combat his dehydration magic. To top it off with Virgo diver magic she could easily move through Ajeel sand and attack him. You add in Taurus strength and Horologium defense, Lucy would logically best Ajeel in just about every area.
