Choinski aims to maintain consistency, placing pressure on Sonego from the baseline. The Italian will likely utilize his powerful forehand to control the game and force errors from Choinski.

This match presents a significant test for Choinski. However, given Sonego’s experience and power, the prediction leans towards Sonego winning in three sets.
