00:00
Here at the Arena Q8 for a place in the final battling it out on center court our top seeds

00:31
they come out onto the court a pair that reached a semi-final just last week in the new game as they
00:40
are facing the top two best players in the world Arturo Cuello and Agustin Tapia
00:50
all eyes on this pair they chose not to play in the last tournament in the new Giza P2 in Egypt they
01:01
had arrests and time to who will book their place in the world cup final Arturo Cuello will kick us
01:08
off with his serve
01:20
the center court here a capacity of 4,700 people
01:43
who are ready for this battle on center court ready to see the spectacle of the two best players
01:53
in the world competing against the pair that have never beaten them
01:57
Arturo Cuello thought that was going out
02:09
So, it switches up the angle, deceives Yanguas, down it goes into the corner, a lovely first
02:34
recovery through the legs from Mike Yanguas.
03:03
Out of the court from Kueyo, Yanguas tries to get there, it's good anticipation, I'm sure
03:12
we will see a lot more of that from Yanguas as the game goes on, but now everything is
03:20
heightened here in Kuwait because it's not just a major title, there's a chance to be
03:25
called world champions, write your name in history and hold that title for the next two
03:30
years, it's a tournament that will only take place in alternate years.
03:37
15-1.
03:44
Lovely play from Coquinieto right up at the net, waiting for the moment to find the gap, they
04:04
get Kueyo and Tapia moving a little bit off balance and switches up the angle.
04:11
Kueyo and Tapia trying to find the gap through the middle of Tapia.
04:18
Kueyo and Tapia trying to find the gap through the middle of Tapia.
04:21
Kueyo and Tapia is there to save the day, tries to pop it out the court but it stays in.
04:28
Kueyo and Tapia.
04:29
Kueyo and Tapia
04:41
LeNe beleницiong, is there to saving the day, tries to pop it out the court but it stays in.
04:44
He almost gets the block, spinning round, into the net.
04:51
Into the net.
04:54
The crowd thoroughly enjoying it, however.
05:03
As Yangwas is well out the court.
05:08
Leaving them very exposed.
05:09
It was a brilliant save from Gokinieto to finish off the point while Yangwas was still outside.
05:21
Cuello has to adjust as it bounces off a little bit unpredictably.
05:45
And now a break point again.
05:51
Smash from Cuello, it's out of the court from Mike Yangwas on the return.
06:01
Sorry, smash from Tapia.
06:03
Response out of the court from Yangwas.
06:07
Didn't quite come far enough over or at the right height from Tapia.
06:16
Yangwas is able to pop it out the court and equalize at three games all.
06:23
You can hear Gustavo Prato in that break telling Cuello and Tapia,
06:26
it's not quick today.
06:28
It's a slower court.
06:29
You're going to have to work really hard on those smashes.
06:38
But at the minute, it feels like the confidence.
06:44
The confidence.
06:45
So the words from Matias Marina on the bench of Gokinieto and Mike Yangwas.
06:51
Positive.
06:52
Is the theme of that conversation they just had.
06:57
He's loving the Bahara but just be a little bit careful on the height and saying,
07:07
we can be a bit more aggressive with the Vibra up at the net from Nieto.
07:11
But Matias Marina saying, keep on playing brave paddle.
07:15
Keep on doing what you're doing.
07:16
It's working.
07:17
But that is out of the court.
07:19
Beauty from Tapia.
07:29
If you play it softer, you have more time to get up.
07:32
Also, you notice different positionings of the serve.
07:35
It can go into the glass on that corner, but it cannot go into the cage.
07:39
That would be a foul.
07:45
Great defense from Cuellar.
07:47
As him and Tapia have switched sides.
07:49
Sweated past the forehand of Tapia.
07:51
He gets it back behind his back somehow.
08:01
And they've switched back to their more natural positioning on court.
08:04
The smash is just out and it's tapped in by Koki Nieto.
08:13
As Yanguas looks up to the crowd and says,
08:16
this is what you wanted to see.
08:21
As they take the game.
08:34
Look at that get from Koki Nieto.
08:39
He doesn't try and fire it back across.
08:41
He just touches it in gently.
08:44
And the praise from Yanguas.
08:46
15-30.
08:56
High lob from Cuellar.
08:59
He watches it into the corner.
09:04
Down the middle.
09:05
Can Koki?
09:06
He'll get there.
09:07
Yes, he can.
09:08
But in comes Koki Nieto with the smash.
09:09
And Tapia can't get a touch.
09:10
Down the middle, can Cuello get there?
09:31
Yes he can, but in comes Coquinieto with the smash and Tapia can't get a touch.
09:40
I really enjoyed that point, the crowd here on the centre court, look at that get from
09:48
Cuello at the back of the court.
09:53
And it feels like Tapia is centimetres away, millimetres even.
10:05
And into the net by Mike Young-West, a huge shout of Vamos from Agustin Tapia as the top
10:12
seeds take the first set with a second break right at the end.
10:19
And they win that first set by a fine margin, six games to four.
10:29
That first set was where Cuello and Tapia come out six games to four after that second break
10:34
straight at the end.
10:36
And during that set break it was Gustavo Prato towards Cuello and Tapia saying,
10:40
Well fifteen.
10:41
Coming out into the second set, we're going to play a little bit better, we've got to
10:45
run more.
10:46
It's a theme running throughout what Gustavo Prato is saying to Cuello and Tapia during
10:50
that first set.
10:51
And for Matias Marina on the side of Nieto and Young-West, he was positive, he was saying
10:58
we're playing well, more of the same.
11:02
And when you've got two pairs like this who compete at the top of their games consistently
11:13
and are always consistently reaching deep runs in competitions, the only real.
11:17
They've now gone beyond that after getting the title in Rotterdam.
11:28
Look at that shot from Cuello, but it goes out of the court at the back from Coqui Nieto.
11:36
Fifteen points.
11:39
Fifteen points.
11:59
Fifteen points.
12:07
30 on.
12:37
You can feel the tension in these rallies, in these points.
12:52
That 30 love, a little shake of the head from Yangues. He's not super happy about these last couple of points.
12:58
Feels like Cuey and Tapio have just flipped a switch. It's a great get from Coquinieto that time.
13:03
Yangues gets the touch but he's into the net.
13:07
And he's up pretty quickly but first let's see that beautiful get from Nieto.
13:23
40 love.
13:28
A good game for the fourth seeds to win and keep the pressure on Cuey and Tapio who lead 4-2.
13:36
A good game for the fourth seeds to win.
13:39
Now if the Tapio is serving.
13:43

Out on the cross court from Dabia.
14:37
Cuello crosses over to the left-hand side.
14:42
They quickly cross back.
14:44
And Cuello telling Tapia exactly where Nieto and Yangwas were.
14:49
30 all.
14:59
Well adjusted by Nieto on the return.
15:02
Lifted high by Yangwas,
15:04
listening to Matthias Marina on that lob.
15:08
And it's out from Tapia.
15:10
A couple of little errors on the bounce.
15:14
Give Nieto and Yangwas a great point.
15:16
And popped out of the court from Yangwas.

16:39
And now Coelho advances as well on that right-hand side.
16:43
Iangwas tries to get there out of the court.
16:47
Mike Iangwas, magic Mike.

17:23
And the smash from Agustin Tapia is picked up by Iangwas.
17:42

17:49

Iangwas.
18:21
Out from Agostin, Dabia, five games all.
18:42
Into the cage.
18:47
You can feel a bit more urgency, particularly in the game of Gueyo.
18:51
As he's using his serve to get right up at the net, try and get a winner as soon as possible.
19:06
Out of the court from Coqui Nieto.
19:09
And Gueyo looks towards Tapia almost to say, come on.
19:13
We can do this.
19:16
As that kick smash again from Tapia, you can see his leg comes all the way out to the side.
19:21
But he's not getting as much joy, Tapia, on those big smashes as we've seen in previous tournaments throughout the year.
19:29
It's a slower court for them.
19:31
That's called out, but it looks like Gueyo's gone up to question that one.
19:48
And to check if it was in or out.
19:55
Tapia at the back of the court.
19:59
Serves down the middle.
20:03
And he comes with the kick smash.
20:05
But it stays in on the response from Yangwas.
20:07
And there's the smash from Gueyo.
20:12
Yangwas gets another touch.
20:14
The save from Coqui Nieto.
20:18
But Arturo Gueyo in with the touch.
20:23
Gets the winning point in that fantastic rally.
20:26
Two points that Yangwas thought was going out the court.
20:32
And two awesome saves.
20:34
Eventually, Gueyo finishes the point.
20:38
Back to Deuce.
20:40
And there is Arturo Gueyo, the king, with the flat smash advantage for Gueyo Tapia.
20:59
And Tapia just couldn't quite get there in the corner.
21:29
The juice.
21:49
Didn't go out of the court from Gueyo.
21:54
Coqui Nieto did what he could.
21:59
Coqui Nieto just didn't quite get the angle on that one out of the court.
22:04
Yangwas was run out already, anticipating a Portres.
22:09
Leaving Coqui Nieto there at the back, into the net.
22:12
Advantage now to Coqui Nieto and Tapia.
22:14
And eventually, eventually the game goes to the top seeds.
22:34
They lead 6-5.
22:36
They saved the break of Nieto and Yangwas in a crucial moment.
22:43
Will there be a second set tie break?
22:49

23:20
At the end.
23:22
What a rally, as both sides just hold it on until Arturo Cuello found the gap.
23:47
And it is set point to the number ones.
23:59
You can see the fight in Yangwas and Nieto trying everything they can to get to that corner.
24:11
And there it is.
24:21
Tapia's hands up in the air as he finishes off the game with a smash.
24:27
They absolutely battled through that game.
24:32
They win 6-4, 7-6.
24:34
And once again, Cuello and Tapia triumph against Yangwas and Nieto.
24:40
Nieto and Yangwas will have to wait even longer to make their first final, even longer to beat Cuello and Tapia this season.
24:49
The top seeds prevail.
24:52
They struggle their way through.
24:54
And they are in the final of the fifth World Cup pairs.
24:59
And are one step closer to being crowned world champions.
25:05
What a fight.
25:12
It was not easy at any point.
25:15
Four Cuello and Tapia.
25:18
Nieto and Yangwas.
25:20
A notoriously tough pair to beat.
25:22
A tough pair to break down who fought till the very end.
25:27
Only four breaks in the whole match.
25:31
Two for each pair.
25:40
And each time Nieto and Yangwas are closer and closer to beating Cuello and Tapia.
25:46
But today, once again, the top two best players in the world come out on top, winning 6-4, 7-6.
25:56
We will hear from them courtside and get their reflections on the game.
26:05
And a reminder of still what's to come on the center court.
26:08
After this match, our women's semifinal, Ortega and Cardo taking on Sanchez, Jose Maria.
26:14
And then for our last semifinal of the day, it is John Sands and Paquito Navarro taking on Chingoto and Galán.
26:20
To find out who will be playing Cuello and Tapia.
26:24
Will it be a repeat of Cuello, Tapia, Chingoto and Galán?
26:28
Will it be a new pair for them to face in Sands, Navarro?
26:31
We will have to find out.
26:34
But what a battle.
26:36
We knew that was going to be the case.
26:37
We knew it was going to be close.
26:39
Just how close, though?
26:41
Will it be close for a title?
26:43
Will it be close for the last of the day?
26:45
