WTT Champions Macao 2026, 9/8-13

[NextLevel]

Truls has learned his lesson from past encounters and works harder to move Darko around before trying to overpower him. That said Darko's ability to bring back the ball and attack loose returns had kept thr match stable. The best match of the day so far for me.

EDIT: Truls tried to use the chop block for one point. A Darko backhand kill reminded him of why the stroke should be kept far away from this match....

Pretty miserable service point conversion from Darko. Especially considering Truls' FH push receive to Darko's backhand side-topspin serve was... Not very good. A more forehand-oriented attacker would have had a field day with those receives.

*Darko's TO in game six, he tells Mamut he's been serving nothing but BH for five straight games and needed to change it. Bro...

BTW, game six, 5-5, epic rally, commentator starts talking mid-rally. What is it with these people?
