- Upset watch: Urja ROSHAN (Rank 50) and Moksha TIYYAGURA (Rank 72) have the element of surprise. Quick starts and proactive return games are their best pathways to tilt momentum.
- Key for SF1 (KHANNA vs ROSHAN): Second-serve pressure and depth to the corners; minimizing unforced errors in neutral exchanges will matter.
