Gold Match - Cruz/Brasher vs. Kraft/Cheng | Highlights | Gstaad 2026 #BeachProTour

Of the Beach Pro Tour Championship Super Sunday is at its end here in our final match. And now it's time to let the kids play it out on court. Women's gold medal match underway. Brasher and Cruz will be in blue. And Chang, first attempt. How about a little jumbo poke to start things off. Kelly Chang is to me the most creative player in the world. I don't think that there is another player, another two players really. Keep that pressure on Kelly Chang. Zippy swing up that middle. Chang out of the middle this time. Stop it. Two jumbo pokes already. Just six points in. To see one of them is good enough. And then Chang again lobs the ace leader. That's a good float serve to Kristen. Almost with that pull. And changing up that movement for Kelly Chang. Kelly a little inside. Perfect spot for Cruz. She's ready to strike. She will. Quick little tempo set for Kristen Cruz. And it's a fast line shot. Taking her time with her serves. That one will just sneak under. Brasher waving her, tapping her chest saying that's my fault. Slightly better end at the moment. Line shot. Right-handed scoop. Nuss going over the head of Kelly Chang. A little return to send her. Perfect control and timing on this move from Cruz. Just the one-handed dig. Oh, it's right where she needs it. And then how about this high, high. Pushing Kelly deep. That's a little inside. A little extra pop on that swing from Kelly Chang. Needed it too because that's exactly where Cruz was going. Watch. She's moving into that cross body. If Kelly doesn't make this as fast. Brasher broad inside. Back to the line. That's what happens when that set comes in. That line becomes a little bit bigger for Kristen Cruz. And the preparation every single approach. Megan trying to find a line, but she doesn't. She finds the hands of Taryn Brasher. If Taryn gets just three blocks in this match, she will end the tournament as number one in the tournament. Coming in with 24, make it number 20. Back to Megan. The low line is too low. Back to back for Brasher. Back to back blocks for Brasher. Makes her number one for the tournament. This one going. Waiting, waiting, waiting. You see the delay. How about the timing from Brasher to swat the line shot? Really smart. And I don't know if I saw anything in Megan's approach that really gave away the shot as much as it a swing that gets blocked, followed by what's next, a shot. And so, so smart. Same serve. Better result this time. Great pull from Chang. Oh, and the crowd, too, with the oohs and aahs after that over set. The chance was there, though. Awesome transition because her shots are so precise. Run through set. Cruz there. Play at the net. Another tight ball. Look at Brasher working hard. She wants in on the action. Yeah, you better believe it. Taryn Brasher doing a little bit of everything in that rally. And I think over the years, because Kristen is so – Similar serve. Pulling is Kelly, but Cruz sees it all. Cruz out of the middle. Little swing, but it is covered. Lucky break for Cruz and Brasher. Chang thought she had one. Cruz sees it. Cruz to the line. Game set. Cruz and Brasher. I love this. Megan went for it. She put some zip on that serve. She didn't hold back. But like you said, is the double up what's required here? Do you take a chance? Megan a bit too far away from that one. And again, it's just not easy because when you do double up, you feel like you're leaving a lot of court available. That's why – Cruz. A little correction. A little self-correction there for Kristen. Calibrating. Let's just tweak the dial one notch here. Okay. We found our perfect tie line again. And that pressure all on Cruz right now. Cruz right back to that line. This one even more precise in the corner. And in the semifinal, it was a wide variety of cross body. Going to the middle. Gets both Kraft and Chang to try and pass, which means late option attempt for Megan Kraft. Good self-cover. Cruz there trying to take the heat. Does that one land into the pin and play on there? So no call at the end of that opening set. She's settled in. They don't take too long to switch it to Brasher, get one on their first time. Drop Brasher short. This way. Line this way, this way. And some players can respond to this way, that way. Ties back up at sixes. First jump set that we've seen. Oh, Cruz is there. What a read. Full layout from Kraft. And Kraft will just shoot it down the line. What a play from both teams of Megan Kraft coming into play as a defender. This way, both Kraft and Chang on that line. What happens if Chang and Kraft got something to say about it? What a pass. Great touch. Look at the full layout from Cruz. Oh, what a self-cover. Kraft again. Not again. Taryn Brasher is a monster right now. Cruz is on it. Oh, this knuckle save. And the jump set. And the fists will work. Cruz trying to pull her hands away. Couldn't get them down fast enough. Option pass there, purposeful from Cruz. And so smart from Taryn Brasher. Cruz and Brasher moving over to that slightly better side. Roll-up's a little tight. Coverage is good. But there is Cruz. Could she do something here? Of course she can. Cruz with the baby line. 16-13. Tight ball. Brasher is hungry for more. Taryn Brasher having herself a match. It's National Taryn Brasher Appreciation Day. Look at this red flag from Taryn. I like the change-up here. Brasher. Stop it. Craft overhead. Look at Brasher hustling here. Second opportunity. Megan Craft, it's a tight ball. Brasher finds a way to get a touch. This one deep. Kelly makes a good pass. Look at Cruz in that middle of the court. Cruz in transition. She's going to end it. 13 serving, 14 points away. Look at Cruz. She saw it coming before it even started. And the cut shot. Oh, my goodness. Taryn and Kristen. Chang across court in front of Kristen Cruz. Hold on. Brasher over the top and out of bounds. It is back-to-back-to-back. Golden Cowbells.
