Projected Semifinal Paths
- Semifinal 1: Suramya PANDEY vs Winner of QF2 (ABOU CHAHINE/GIRARD PECARRERE)
- Semifinal 2: Winner of QF3 (ALNASSER/KAZI) vs Nima TEIMOURZADEH KHOEI
Key Storylines
- Top-seed form: Suramya PANDEY has yet to concede a game in the quarterfinal round, signaling sharp timing off both wings and high first-serve efficiency.
- Bottom-half momentum: Nima TEIMOURZADEH KHOEI dropped only a single game in his quarterfinal, underscoring clean baseline patterns and superior return depth.
- Clash of styles pending: QF2 (ABOU CHAHINE vs GIRARD PECARRERE) profiles as a contrast between compact aggression and measured rally tolerance. The winner will need to quickly recover for a potential same-day semifinal call.
- Physicality watch: QF3 (ALNASSER vs KAZI) could hinge on mid-rally court positioning; whoever controls the backhand corner more reliably should dictate.
Numbers That Matter (so far)
- Bagel sets: Three 6-0 sets recorded in completed quarterfinals.
- Combined games lost by winners in QFs: 1 game across two completed matches.
- Average margin (completed QFs): 6.0 games per set.
