00:00On air. Wow-wee.

00:30Well, that's a TC opening point.

00:53Oh, nice change-up.

00:56You could hear...

01:01Oh! Demon or...

01:05Oh!

01:08We saw Umber not able to pass through them many times with the forehand in the...

01:30Well played.

01:46It's also the first rally of the tournament.

01:54Oh, that looks great.

01:57It was great.

02:017-4.

02:07Alexander the Great.

02:09Runa, too much to do.

02:16Oh, he's made it.

02:17He has smacked that just inside the court.

02:22Much to Runa...

02:23...this course or put some pressure on the Aussie.

02:26He's not going to with that kind of return of serve.

02:307-5.

02:41Oh, yes, sir!

02:44That is out of this world.

02:49Shot of the day. Get that man a watch.

02:52Get him, too.

02:53Get Hugo down here.

02:56Wow-wee.

03:00Yes!

03:05Yes!

03:08Oh, the court is fabulous.

03:10Just like this match.

03:17Oh!

03:18An apology from Alex, but he takes the first quarter in this final.

03:24I'm sorry, Holger. I'm really sorry.

03:28Your second UTS final of the season.

03:30This format suits you very well, doesn't it?

03:34Yes, well, I've played some great matches here in UTS.

03:37I enjoy the format.

03:39I think it suits my game very much and hopefully I can keep it going.

03:44What would you say about your opponent today, Holger Runa?

03:47What's the scouting report?

03:49The scouting report is that he wants his revenge, I'm sure.

03:54So I've got to bring my best level today, my best performance.

03:58Big intensity and hopefully make it physical.

04:01Did you remind him about that victory on Friday or not, just before?

04:04No, no, no. I didn't want to give him any more fire.

04:06He doesn't need it.

04:08Good start, Alex. Well done.

04:15There, guys! Come on!

04:192-1.

04:242-1.

04:44Big hitting.

04:50He has been clinical.

04:55Come on.

05:06There you go.

05:243 reliable second serves.

05:26So much spin.

05:34Oh, my goodness.

05:36Oh, how did that happen?

05:38He did all the hard work.

05:42But how has De Mino recovered from that shot off the net?

05:45It's a cannon off the net.

05:48But how has De Mino recovered from that shot off the net?

05:51It's a cannon off the net.

05:54Just...

06:15...reward that he necessarily deserved.

06:18He deserved that one, though.

06:233-1.

06:29Amun has got it.

06:3011-9.

06:31That's how...

06:42Skipping a jump again from Alex De Mino.

06:45It's the first time either of these finalists

06:48has converted a blood trick.

07:15APPLAUSE

07:37Hogaruna receiving a little bit of a massage,

07:40maybe a tight shoulder.

07:44Or just tired.

08:12He's on the board.

08:15Oh, that's such a great shot.

08:17But what a pick-up from Alex De Mino.

08:20There's absolutely nothing you can do about that.

08:29Great body serve from De Mino,

08:31and closes the angle quickly.

08:45Oh!

08:47This guy!

08:52When you're training against a brick wall,

08:54it just keeps coming back, doesn't it?

08:56I was just thinking...

09:05He let it bounce.

09:14Bruno was in charge of that point.

09:27But he doesn't convert.

09:3012-7.

09:45Oh!

10:06Oh!

10:08Well, well, well.
