Hugo Calderano vs Truls Moregard | MS Final | #WTTMacao 2026

And that's the range that he loves to get to. He'll jump on any serve received to attack it. He then creates a blueprint that I think trolls might try and emulate. The first little sprinkle of magic and then you keep the target moving. You do not let Ugo drop back and play the ball to him wherever he is. Just like this. Yeah, well explained Joe. Excellent stuff. He has a couple of novelty shots. He has the behind the back. Keep him away from that. Keep him moving his thing from a certain range. That's where it becomes deadly. He loves to jump careful. He's got to be kind of the mouse around the elephant. He's got to be tricky and away. Good start from the sweet He spoke about rediscovering his game. He spoke about the appetite he's got and against Harimoto and that makes him a very dangerous tool. Carries a sledgehammer with that forehand and backhand. But again, the change of direction, right? This is what trolls is going to do. He's going to keep Ugo moving. He's going to play up the line at times. He's going to be confusing. In that short forehand area, it'll keep him guessing. It's the point that he served first. Yeah, you mind your mouth. Backhand story of Calderano. You've got to have brains to mess with him. How good was that as well? Talk me through that shot. Just broke the ribbon and it earned him three game points in the first. Oh, he's under the table. He's around the back but he can't do anything about that. A break for Charles Morrigan. Then to go back to the short game. And there you go. A little bit wide forehand. Then Ugo can start to get into his rhythm. He hoped to smash that one. And it was a good one. He's got a PhD in tactics. Professor Morgard. Almost perfection. You're going to eat a big power shot. That short touch. It shouldn't be possible. He attacks it with so much aggression. He stabs it in there and it's loaded. Changing the target. I love that serve receive though that he just played. What a get. Not many players. Short forehand, long backhand, long forehand. He needed that. Oh, the serve receive. So a little run of points takes Charles into a two-point lead. He's got one game already. It went next to that. Power shot will land. He's done it again. He stepped away. Snatched the match. Let's go. Magic from Morgard. Mental monster Morgard. He knew exactly where this power shot was coming. But the execution is... If you serve long, you give Charles the opportunity to attack first. Like so, but he stayed alive in that one. Serve short and then you're at the mercy of that horrible forehand touch. That one. But again, I think if Calderano can build into points. A little better like this. Not try and just belt it. Look at where Charles goes. Oh, that backhand. Fans, but eventually he will find a chance to unleash the power. Did you say power? He's just got it casually there in his pocket. Wow. He's never really still, is he? He hits that on the move. Lateral movement. He's got such great stillness about his upper body. And his timing and his contact point is beautiful. You backed the Brazilian. Allowed the forehand. Oh, what a get. But not this time. Brilliant from Hugo Calderano. Tied up his opponent. Tangled him up in knots. Right now, Charles would only give him a chance to build ahead of steam. Oh, it's the third time we've seen that backhand up the line. And again, he's finding unconventional ways to win points now. This has been a masterclass this game. That was beautiful. Every now and then you need a point like that. Players having fun under the table. Everything out of the trawls. But he's still six points down. Ah, there it is again. That has been a very productive part of the table for Hugo. Long fast serve. Traps trawls into a fast exchange. And he's got seven points for the game. Only needed one. Charles knew he was well beat. And then get back to the range and unleash the power. Oh, he misses. Wait to see when he brings out the backhand up the line against trawls again. There it is. Yeah, three times. Another big power shot. And again, that little giveaway. Honestly, I love these last few points. He's defending and he loves to counter from down there. Some match last night. Battlefielded in mental warfare and adrenaline. But tactically trawls his back. He's got a game on the board. Of course, years ago he became famous for that ability to solve Rubik's cubes whilst under problems. Barely sure he solved one underwater as well, the Rubik's cube. Shot and that's why you keep the ball. But he gets the point. Sorry. Again, it's that short forehand. If he gets put there, just hack it long backspin to backhand. But a little bit. I feel like he should just push long to backhand. You can see the idea. They do go try and attack this backhand. He does. For the third point in a row, they oblige. I would go anywhere but long to wide forehand and suffer that thing. He knows opponents hate it and he knows they're going to go long. So then he just uncorks forehand rockets from there. He makes you. Both tactically and motivationally. 100% right. He was there. He's been there through this purple patch that took him to Montpellier as well. Oh yeah. Unless trolls can get across the line now. Can he put on another surge as we saw in the last? Brilliant. We've heard this before, Joe. But he's got that feeling. Oh yes, he does. And this is the extent to the table and play the backhand. He's in trouble. Big trouble. But he only knows one way out of it. Does he go short? Does he dare go long? And look what the result is. We see he might be willing to risk it all. Ugo's starting to shoehorn in that backhand into the forehand of Trolls. This is a battle of minds. Just wonder if Trolls might serve short flow. Trolls Morrigan, WTT champions. He's done it here in Macau. He's done it against a player who looks so, so good. There it is. There's the trademark celebration. My goodness. Has it been a monstrous mental performance all week from Morrigan here in Macau?
