Chak Lam Coleman Wong Player Overview
Chak Lam Coleman Wong arrives at this deciding qualifying match in decent form, having won 7 of his last 10. He came through the earlier rounds by beating Elmer Møller and Lukas Neumayer, though prior to that he lost to Sebastián Baez in a challenger quarter-final. Over those last 10 matches, Wong has held serve reliably - winning 78% of his service games and taking 67% of points on serve. He has won 65% of sets played and is averaging close to 10 aces per match, which adds a useful weapon on hard courts. A further factor worth noting is that within US Open qualifying, he has frequently won by a margin of more than two games.
Match Results: Chak Lam Coleman Wong
Dusan Lajovic Player Overview
Lajovic is ranked lower and has won just five of his last ten matches. His run to the qualifying final included victories over Soon-woo Kwon and David Horda Sanchis, following a defeat to Taro Daniel the previous week. Statistically, the Serb posts a solid first-serve percentage of 64% and a hold rate of around 79%, slightly above average. His set-winning rate is lower at 54%, and he has no straight-sets wins, reflecting the difficulty he has had imposing himself on opponents even during his better spells.
Match Results: Dusan Lajovic
Key factors
- Coleman Wong has covered the -2.5 games handicap in 7 of his last 8 matches at this tournament.
- Wong has won 7 of his last 10 matches, reflecting solid recent form.
- Wong's games-won percentage is higher than his opponent's.
- Lajovic has not won a single match to love in his last 10, which reduces the risk of an unexpected whitewash.
Expected scenario
Coleman Wong holds a moderate edge here, backed by better recent form and statistics. Lajović is capable of making it competitive, though, so a one-sided result looks unlikely: the chances of a third set are moderate, and the total games figure is expected to fall somewhere in the 21-25 range.
⭐ Editor's Pick
Coleman Wong's recent form stands out against his opponent: consistent wins backed by a strong games and sets record on the US Open hard courts. The Serbian rarely loses without taking a set, but he has struggled to string together convincing performances against opponents of this calibre. The most likely outcome is a straightforward win for the favourite, with little risk of a prolonged match or an unexpected slip from the Hong Kong player. Our pick is Coleman Wong - Games Handicap -2.5.
