Dusan Lajovic vs Jan Choinski Prediction
Dusan Lajovic is favored to win his qualifying match against Jan Choinski at the Internazionali BNL d'Italia. Lajovic's strong clay-court record and Choinski's recent struggles on the surface are key factors. Despite a past injury, Lajovic's expertise on clay should prove decisive.
ATS PREDICTION
Dusan Lajovic Win
Predicted: 2-0 (7-5, 6-4)
60%
Dusan Lajovic, despite a recent head injury in February 2026, is a proven clay-court specialist with a strong career record on this surface. His overall career win rate on clay is 58.7% (367/258), significantly higher than his performance on other surfaces. Although Jan Choinski won their only previous encounter, that match was on grass, a surface less favorable to Lajovic. Choinski's recent form on clay in 2026 has been poor, with a win rate of just 30.0%, indicating significant struggles on this surface. While Choinski has a slightly higher current ranking, Lajovic's experience and historical success on clay make him the clear favorite in this Internazionali BNL d'Italia qualifying match.
SPREAD PREDICTION
Dusan Lajovic -3.5 Games (-3.5)
60%
Lajovic's superior clay-court prowess and Choinski's current poor form on this surface suggest Lajovic is likely to win comfortably. Lajovic's ability to dictate play on clay should lead to him covering a -3.5 game handicap. This pick is supported by the general market sentiment favoring Lajovic, implying a more dominant performance is expected.
TOTAL PREDICTION
Under 22.5
60%
Given Lajovic's expected dominance and Choinski's struggles on clay, it's probable that Lajovic will secure a straight-sets victory. A typical two-set match on clay for these players, especially with one struggling, would likely result in fewer than 23 games. This aligns with a shorter match duration due to one-sided sets.

Set Betting
Dusan Lajovic 2-0

Total Games - Under/Over
Under 20.5 Games

First Set Winner
Dusan Lajovic
Lajovic, as the stronger clay-court player, is expected to start strong and establish an early lead in the match.
Will there be a tie-break?
No
While tie-breaks are possible, Lajovic's clay-court experience and Choinski's recent form suggest Lajovic will likely break serve enough to avoid a tie-break in either set. Choinski has won 2 tie-breaks in his last 10 matches, but Lajovic's ability to control rallies on clay should prevent tight sets.
Player to win at least one set
Jan Choinski - No
Given Choinski's 30% clay win rate in 2026, it is less likely he will be able to take a set off a clay specialist like Lajovic.
