65s of pure rally, super fun all around. Hugo is really whipping the ball in that way only he knows how to. and I really feel when An Jaehyun puts the pressure on himself to lock in, he plays so well. but he just didn’t seem like pushing himself in that way today.

nonetheless fantastic rallies to watch, Hugo’s looking really solid right now. Def see him making at least QFs in this form

The backhand lobs were already insane.. but then Kallberg attacking it and coming back to the table?? Nuts!!! The whole match was fantastic. Was down to the wire every point, definitely worth a watch! This one had everything!

Absolutely crazy counters from Dima and Chirita.. had to stop and record!! These Bundesliga matches are out of this world honestly, so many fantastic matches!!!

Bertelsmeier honestly is looking majorly underrated (I think he’s #63 WR) right now? Could see him in the Top 20 in the near future, he’s already been doing really well at some of the WTT events recently. Really held his own against FZD. But FZD prevailed, as he often does!! Looked especially explosive too. What a monster. And backhands on both sides were nuts, with some fantastic rallies!

I don’t know why but this felt like a bit from Parks and rec or Jury duty.. I was dying .. the animation getting all messed up from the high toss, the umpire being confused what he was asking about, and then his face afterwards. wow. 😂😂

Nonetheless it was a great match, much closer than the 3-0 game summary would tell!

one of many. go watch this one asap!

and a nice thumbs up from Felix 😂

absolutely killer game from Shinozuka. his FH was unbeatable and he was extremely locked in, winning many of the rallies that most would expect Lebrun to win! fast, dangerous and killer even at midrange. what a match. loving this whole event so far !

absolutely insane match !!! worth a full watch. really happy I tuned into this one live. and some really interesting serve and receive tactics on display here from both of them.

self explanatory. god if they had speedometers on these forehands.. had so many highlights to screen record. really fun match to watch!!

really astounding speed from both of them on this one. huge risky point swings back and forth.. fantastic match.. felt like the battle btwn the fastest FH and the fastest BH.

I don’t know why I was Loling from this so hard but I think I’ve so rarely seen Ma Long be uncoordinated looking. So funny. Anyways great win from the classic duo!! Still the GOATs!!!

they did not disappoint!! absolute forehand magic!! Ma Long looks as good as ever, and was great to see the Xu Xin forehand get a couple absolutely insane rallies. I love at the end the casual walk away from the bomb they just dropped. Hoping this domination continues, what a frickin treat to see them!!!

had to grab this rally - the differing playstyles, the double yellow cards and timeouts, the neck and neck score line.. and even the alexis scoff at the end. really encapsulates their brotherly battle ! always a treat when we get to see them!

just empty seats, or people not focused and on their phones up front? I'd be either taking videos myself or absolutely captivated if it was me up there

seems to be in great form after a close well played game with Xue Fei, and put on some muscle as well after the brief military stint

always up in the air with these two showmen! hugo was all brute force today and Gauzy had some incredible saves, and of course vice versa. love seeing them battle it out as it always ends up in an incredible mid / long range rally. again excuse the fps it’s this event’s stream is quite low quality, unfortunately.
