Keys to Watch
- Seed stewardship: With several byes, higher-ranked players face opponents carrying R32 rhythm—sharp starts will matter.
- Hard-court patterns: First-serve percentage and depth on the second shot are decisive across BU14; watch how returners neutralise.
- Recovery windows: R32 winners turning around for R16 must manage energy and tempo between matches.
Local Conditions and Preparation
- Expect medium-quick hard courts rewarding early aggression and deep, low-bouncing drives.
- Players who control the middle of the court and finish points at the net can gain quick-score advantages.
