Really great chance for Jan to make the main draw - has he ever been in an ATP Tour main draw before?
4 times on ATP tour, twice by WC and twice by qualifying.
The 2 qualifying occasions are in 2023 at ATP 250 Eastbourne and ATP 500 Hamburg.
2023 also saw his one MD win at ATP tour or Slam level when with a Wimbledon WC he won through to R2.
These 5 tournaments contribute to his 1/5 win/lose career record showing on his ATP page ( these figures were the initial clue that he had an ATP tour MD history and I then just searched his ATP tour and Slam activity for more detail ).

Looking at the draw certainly not the worst option, however the 17 year old has taken well to adults tennis this year, reaching a challenger semi and final as well as an atp semi final. Wont be easy for Choinski whos not been in great form himself.
FQR: (q6) Jan Choinski WR 169 defeated (qWC) Duarte Vale (POR) WR 581 by 3 & 4
And may have struck it lucky again in the main draw:
L32: (Q) Jan Choinski WR 169 vs (WC) Joćo Fonseca (BRA) WR 341 (= CH)
Maybe - but Fonseca was the US Open Junior champion last season and current world ranked 3 - I think he was number 1 at the back end of last year. So he could be tough for Jan.

That was a tussle!
L32: (Q) Jan Choinski WR 188 defeated (WC) Joćo Fonseca (BRA) WR 288 by 6-2 6-7(5) 6-4
Jan first served for it at 5-2 in the second set.
