Hugo Calderano vs Simon Gauzy _ MS R32 _ #ChinaSmash 2025

Talk to us about the styles of these two men. Slow it down. Fantastic backhand there. That's part of Takahashi. I like that. He got that. He got that. Softly, and while Simone Gauzy tries to hook this ball, there was little pace to work with. Clever play. Which we'll have for you later. Oh, brilliant from Gauzy, but look at where he was. Running out of space. We're talking 76 before this. Wow, that's way faster than anything we've seen. We were scraping for change. That kind of goes back to what you were saying earlier about the power. I'm going to go closer to more than 30. The net as well. Yeah. Wow. A supporting actor appearance from the net. I won't call anything. I'm like, but what if you get faulted on a serve? He said, okay, that maybe. Why wouldn't he? I think what he was saying is I won't call another one. It's not the first time. He's keeping himself well in the hunt here, Gauzy. The pain, the anguish. Thought that was clever. He played it more shallow on the table. Two game points, the thrill from Brazil. One save here by Gauzy. He's saved two now, and we're on to Deuce. 2012. So do they. Third time he's been behind the table. He didn't crumble. The luck did not go his way, but he still stood up to the test. The recovery. Sidespin shallow. Net. He jumps. Wow. Another wide shot. We saw him jump the barrier earlier. What an achievement. Colorado's lead. Now two points. But you can only control so much, and worrying about anything you can't is not good use of energy. Oh, oh, oh. He lost his footing there. There's just been so much entertainment every day. Draws him in, then plays that shot. Ugo Calderano. He finishes it off in style. Just as Gauzy had caught up with him. Calderano strides to the finish line in this game. The round of 32. The round of 16 awaits half of the people in this battle. Battling to stay in here, Gauzy. He's young and he's strong. He wasn't far away, was he? Simo Gauzy from all the way back there. That hard and blocked back in their training. Clever play right back to where it came from. Underspin. Oh, wonderful again. I thought he played such a great shot there, Gauzy. But Calderano is on top of it. This was a chance. Get ready for a full swing. Good shot from Calderano. If you're following the ball like I was in this rally. To play that faintly and spin it down the line with inside-out spin. Takes a net there, Gauzy. So he goes through Ugo Calderano. The round of 16. Off to that win. Simo Gauzy. Pulled one back in the second game. Calderano, just too good. 11-8, 10-12, 11-5, 11-7. Ugo Calderano wins by three games to one.
