What to Watch for Today
- Baseline weight vs first-strike tennis: Manuel’s clean first-strike patterns will be tested by Abdulla’s depth and consistency after a dominant quarterfinal.
- Momentum meter: Kinnari’s quick holds and heavy returns have produced lopsided scorelines; Milovanovic’s shot tolerance and transition game could be the antidote.
- Scoreboard pressure: Early breaks have decided many matches this week; look for players to protect serves in the opening three games of each set.
By the Numbers
- Games conceded (QF): Manuel 4, Abdulla 0, Kinnari 2, Milovanovic 0 (via walkover).
- Surface factor: The hard court has rewarded first-ball aggression and depth through the middle to set up forehand patterns.
