Match summary
Luca Van Assche meets Dusan Lajovic in the Round of 32 at the Open Aix Provence Crédit Agricole on April 28. The match takes place on outdoor clay, where both men carry identical 10-10 records in recent play. Van Assche ranks 98th; Lajovic sits at 138th.
Their head-to-head stands even at one win apiece. Lajovic has been the steadier player lately, winning 6 of his last 10 matches and 3 of 5 most recent, while Van Assche has won only 2 of his last 5 after dropping his last two contests. Lajovic arrives fresher from a heavier schedule, playing six matches in the past two weeks compared to Van Assche's three outings over the same span.
Van Assche operates as a disruptive presence, capable of pulling off upsets against higher-ranked opponents, as shown by recent wins over Harris and Cecchinato. Lajovic is a methodical baseliner who builds points through consistency and court coverage. The clay surface neutralizes neither player's approach decisively; clay matches their records evenly at 50%. The question becomes whether Lajovic's recent momentum and accumulated match rhythm can outlast Van Assche's capacity to raise his level in a single match.
