Player Form and Talking Points
- Zhong vs Megchiani: Zhong arrives fresher after a bye, while Megchiani must quickly reset after advancing via walkover. First-strike tennis and return depth will be decisive.
- Mohsen vs Kildisaite: Mohsen7s straight-sets win builds momentum, but Kildisaite7s authoritative quarterfinal scoreline suggests baseline control. Expect long, physical exchanges.
- Serve+1 patterns and rally tolerance on Dubai7s hard courts should separate the finalists.
