Reporter’s Take: With disciplined baseline patterns and serve-plus-one execution proving decisive all week, look for today’s semifinalists to prioritize high first-serve percentages and depth off the return. The athletes who adapt quickest to the afternoon bounce and manage scoreboard pressure should book their place in Sunday’s final.
