🔍 Match Breakdown

This match features a contrast in styles: De Jong’s grinding, high-topspin clay-court patterns against Majchrzak’s flatter, more athletic all-court game. De Jong thrives on rhythm and long rallies, especially in the slow, high-bounce conditions of Marrakech.

Majchrzak has more upside with cleaner baseline weapons and past ATP experience. But he’s less tested on clay this season, and his consistency still lags behind in grinding rallies—especially against durable opponents like De Jong.

If the match becomes a tactical chess match, expect De Jong’s clay-craft and match rhythm to outlast the Polish player's streaky aggression.

🔮 Prediction

Pick: De Jong in 3 sets

Majchrzak will push hard, but De Jong’s natural clay instincts, recent form, and baseline steadiness give him the slight edge in what could be a war of attrition.
