🔍 Match Breakdown
Both players are well-versed in Indian conditions but take opposite tactical paths. Rajeshwaran’s flatter ball striking can rush Bhamidipaty, especially indoors or on quick hard courts. The challenge will be sustaining that aggression if fitness remains uncertain after the Bratislava retirement.
Bhamidipaty tends to extend exchanges, using depth and consistency to wear opponents down. Her serve lacks pop but holds up under pressure better. If Rajeshwaran can’t finish rallies early, Bhamidipaty’s steadiness and late-set resilience should pay off.
🔮 Prediction
Expect streaky momentum — Rajeshwaran may start sharper, but sustained control likely shifts toward the steadier, fitter player.
Pick: Shrivalli Rashmikaa Bhamidipaty in three sets.
Rajeshwaran’s win path: attack early, shorten exchanges, and serve above 65% firsts.
