Benedikt Duda vs Hugo Calderano - MS QF - #EuropeSmash 2025

He even tried a double-handed backhand from that position. Tells you all you need to know about Calderano. It was a great push from Benedette Duda. As you'll see here. This is great to see. Right against left. Trading blows way back off the table. Duda dominates in the early stages. But that backhand rip from Calderano away from the table. He's taken it out. Has the German here. That's a really impressive statement start here. To his encounter. Power again. Deep thinkers, was it? Not in a match. Because there's no time to really think. That's a massive confidence boost to that from Benedette Duda. ...serve at the moment. Just a quarter of his serves yielding success. Well, the shot tolerance again was excellent from the German. Eight, six. Well, Calderano there with a lovely receive. Ten, eight. Ten, nine. Very spinny flick. Again, you like what you see. And another game won by Benedette Duda. You never write off Ugo Calderano. And he has shown this in the past. He can go about it. Yeah, the second one would be calling it now. And have a little think about behind the back. Performance would. Goodness gracious. He is playing brilliantly here. Oh, it was a gorgeous spin up from Benedette Duda. But Calderano with a little shoulder shrug there. Oh. Big break for the Brazilian. But he needs it. Still trails by four. Four. And Jake in. That's going to be happening later on. It's going to be another spectacular night. What we know already is that we're going to see. Picks up the point against the serve on the timeout. Number seven. In the world. Eight. Nervous energy. Oh. Clever serve from Duda. Great outing for the Germans here in the men's singles. Even for Winter. I mean, she was the last time being European. Nine. Oh, and now it's tightening up. And this hugely important. Not a huge point. A breaker. Game Duda. What a serve from Duda. Well, I'll tell you what. If you bet on Benedette Duda to win in straight games. Enjoy your time. Ready for a counterattack. Calderano with those two stinging backhands. But it wasn't to be. Calderano is going to challenge this to say hit the edge. But I think it's a bit of an optimistic call. A bit of a desperate call here from Calderano. It's one of those ones from outside the net. So as a result, there's more of a chance. You can see why he would call it. And you're right. He was close, you know. He was close. It's always worth giving it a try. Calderano. One remaining point. At a time when Calderano was supposed to be fighting back. Nine. And he'll continue to try. I don't think Calderano will be in the mood. And he's going to have to just pan out everything he can. With any regularity. Now he's on the move though. It's a big, big goal. Well now. And he's there. Hugely disrespectful to Benedikt Düder to call this an enormous upset, surprise or anything like that. Just because of his pedigree. But Fraser, I know you're stunned by what's happened here. I think that must be right up there as one of the very best performances.
