Quarterfinal Previews
- Rayan FASSI-FIHRI vs Yash PRATAP Rayan arrives fresh and firing after a commanding 6-2, 6-0 in the Round of 16. Yash showed resilience with a come-from-behind match tie-break win. Expect contrasting tempos: Rayans measured aggression against Yashs counterpunching and clutch play.
- Diogo LYNCE vs Gregory COHEN A JTP derby with both players in form. Diogo hasnt conceded a game since the main draw started, while Gregory survived a pressure-packed tie-break. This may hinge on who controls the first strike off the return.
- Shahryar ALIMADADI vs Daniel MATIS Shahryar cruised 6-1, 6-2; Daniel matched that authority with twin 6-1 sets. Clean serving and backhand depth could be decisive in long rallies.
- Adam WILD ALI vs Tiago LYNCE Adam progressed via walkover and now faces Tiago, who posted a 6-1, 6-2 masterclass. Early holds will be vital for Adam to settle against Tiagos proactive baseline pressure.
