Analyst’s Notes
On hard courts with a lively Wilson US Open ball, first‑strike play and disciplined service games are likely to be rewarded. Players such as Ayaan Malik, Saad Bukadida, and Ayham Khan carry the ranking weight into the later rounds, but several evenly matched R32 ties could seed upsets and reshape the quarterfinal picture by midweek.
Important
- Scheduling is subject to change; always reconfirm on site.
- Match formats and court assignments are determined by the referee.
- All balls and equipment comply with UAE Tennis Federation regulations for the age group.
