Match-up Lens: TIWARI vs BHANDARI
- Form: Bhandari has been near-flawless, conceding only two games en route to today. Tiwari enters fresh after progressing through the top half.
- Patterns: Expect first-strike rallies on hard court. Bhandari’s pace and return position have yielded early breaks; Tiwari’s court positioning and depth may be the counterbalance.
- Nerves and margins: With a final berth at stake, conversion on early break points and serve hold percentage should tell the story.
What to Watch
- First-serve percentage for both players on a medium-to-quick hard court.
- Return depth from Bhandari against Tiwari’s opening patterns.
- Transition balls: the player who steps inside the baseline more consistently should control momentum.
Looking Ahead
The champion will be decided on the event’s closing day in Dubai. With Yashvii BHATIA already in the final, the last semifinal will complete a compelling narrative of rising U14 talent.
