Key factors
- In 8 of Dusan Lajovic's last 9 matches, the total exceeded 22.5 games.
- Both players frequently play long matches with a high number of games.
- Their most recent head-to-head match went to three sets.
- Both players' average number of games over their last 10 matches exceeds 24.
Expected scenario
The match promises to be a tough one: both players tend toward long sets, the probability of a third set is rated above average, and tie-breaks are possible but don't look like the main scenario. This course of events logically points to a high total - the range is expected to be between 22 and 27 games.
Total Prediction
Dusan Lajovic regularly features in extended matches regardless of the opponent's ranking or surface - the total line is broken almost every time thanks to the fight for every set and a high number of games won on his own serve. This reinforces the expectation of a high game count in this match as well.

The form of both players points to an extended match scenario: Luca Van Asch is solid on serve, while Dusan Lajovic frequently plays long matches even against favorites. Their head-to-head record also supports the likelihood of a high game count between them. Taking into account the statistics and the characteristics of both players, a bet on total over 21.5 looks justified for this particular pair.
