What to Watch
- Fresh legs vs match rhythm: Players advancing via byes (Pandey, Chtourou, Abdellatif) face opponents coming off same-day or recent wins—an intriguing balance between freshness and momentum.
- Ninaber’s baseline sharpness: A commanding 6-1, 6-2 opening win sets up a high-quality quarterfinal against the well-rested Chtourou.
- Rudenkov’s reset: Advancing by walkover puts a premium on starting fast once his opponent is confirmed.
