Storylines to Watch
- Top-form contender: Uzokwe has dropped just two games in the quarters after a walkover start. His first-strike tennis on hard courts has been decisive.
- Calculated counter: Agastya’s straight-sets wins (R16 and a gritty QF) point to improved serve-plus-one patterns under pressure.
- All-JTP showdown: Lynce vs Matis promises contrasting tempos. Matis is coming off a signature win over higher-ranked Tiago Lynce (Rank 16), while Diogo advanced with energy in reserve after a QF walkover.
- Rankings context: On paper, Uzokwe (5) and Diogo (30) have the edge, but Matis (66) already engineered a notable upset, and Agastya (41) outlasted a higher-ranked opponent in Atharv (31).
