Match Analysis

The model’s edge for van de Zandschulp stems primarily from recent record by level, which alone shifts the prediction 5.4 percentage points toward him. That is supported by his higher Elo rating of 1691.84 versus Choinski’s 1549.78, and a stronger form index for van de Zandschulp at 44.38 compared with Choinski’s 34.57. Surface fit also favors van de Zandschulp by 4.7 points: his surface strength index is 28.36 while Choinski sits at 8.01, indicating better adaptation to hard courts.
