Match-by-Match Notes
- Tatlieva vs Marquez: Ranking contrast suggests Tatlieva (11) starts as a favorite, but early-round nerves often level the field in U12 competition.
- Chemodanova vs Liyanage: Chemodanova brings recent ranking momentum; Liyanage represents host club 365, which could provide familiar conditions.
- Foltova vs Shah: Foltova (17) looks to convert experience into a quarterfinal berth against a dangerous unranked opponent.
- Tiyyagura vs Gandhi: With Gandhi (25) carrying a higher listing, expect structured points; Tiyyagura (50) will aim to extend rallies and pressure second serves.
- Ferrao vs Kachurina: Ferrao (22) faces a known competitor in Kachurina (64); first-strike patterns could decide this one.
- Maksoudian vs Elayyan: Elayyan (20) enters as the higher-ranked player; Maksoudian’s clean starts in service games will be key.
- Barnett vs Bisht: With both entries showing no listed ranking, this is a genuine pick’em—expect long exchanges and momentum swings.
- Mironova vs Radenovic: Radenovic (19) has the ranking edge; Mironova (46) can flip the script by controlling depth and minimizing errors.
