Bye Notification
Daniel Matis (JTP) receives a first-round bye and is placed in the quarterfinal bracket.
Three Things to Watch
- Serve reliability under pressure: Short-format junior matches amplify double-fault risk at deuce—first-ball percentage will be decisive.
- Backhand cross exchanges: Expect many rallies to funnel to the backhand corner; players who change direction cleanly will seize momentum.
- Transition instincts: With lively hard courts, early recognition of short balls and confident net approaches can swing entire sets.
Schedule Advisory
Note: All times and courts are subject to change. Players should confirm reporting times with the referee and arrive at least 30 minutes prior to their scheduled match.
