Jorda Sanchis vs Lajovic Prediction 26 August 2026
🔊 David Horda Sanchis and Dušan Lajović meet in the second round of US Open qualifying on hard courts. With both players in similar form, this could be a closely contested match - particularly given the nature of the surface. Below, we break down the stats and playing characteristics of both men.
Head-to-Head
📊 The two players have never met before.
David Jorda Sanchis Player Overview
David Horda Sanchis arrives at this match having won four of his last ten, a run that reflects inconsistent form over the period. His most recent win came against Henry Squire in the first round of US Open qualifying, though he lost twice before that - to Jack Pinnington Jones and Alan Magadan. The Spaniard holds serve at around 81%, a solid figure at qualifying level, but his set-winning percentage of 39% is below average. His matches average more than 22 games, and a tendency to lose sets to love suggests he is prone to dips within tournaments. There is a lack of consistency to his game: he can take a set off a higher-ranked opponent, but he is also capable of dropping his level sharply in patches.

Dusan Lajovic Player Overview
Lajovic has won five of his last ten matches and has been in slightly better form than his opponent over that stretch. In the first round of US Open qualifying, he beat Soonwoo Kwon, and before that he was mixing wins and losses across various Challenger events. The Serb is winning 79% of his service games - a solid figure for this stage of competition. His set-winning percentage stands at 54%, and he is averaging close to 26 games per match, which is above the tour average. Over this recent run he has avoided heavy defeats or a run of bagel sets, holding his level even against difficult opponents.

Key factors
- Both players average more than 22 games per match.
- David Jorda Sanchis and Dušan Lajović have frequently played long sets recently, based on their recent match statistics.
- Neither player holds a clear edge on serve or return, which increases the likelihood of a competitive contest.
- Current form does not point to a dominant player on either side, reducing the chance of a quick finish.
Expected scenario
Both players' statistics point to a lengthy match: their average game counts are high and neither player holds a clear edge in current form or key metrics. A third set is a moderate possibility, while a straight-sets finish looks unlikely.
⭐ Editor's Pick
The current form of David Horda Sanchis and Dušan Lajović suggests a fairly long match with no clear favourite likely to dominate proceedings. Average games-per-match figures support the possibility of two closely contested sets or a deciding third. The statistics on both sides give reason to expect at least a standard-length contest, with neither player likely to run away with it. Our pick is Total Games - Over 21.5.
