01:43who are ready for this battle on center court ready to see the spectacle of the two best players
01:53in the world competing against the pair that have never beaten them
01:57Arturo Cuello thought that was going out
02:09So, it switches up the angle, deceives Yanguas, down it goes into the corner, a lovely first
02:34recovery through the legs from Mike Yanguas.
03:03Out of the court from Kueyo, Yanguas tries to get there, it's good anticipation, I'm sure
03:12we will see a lot more of that from Yanguas as the game goes on, but now everything is
03:20heightened here in Kuwait because it's not just a major title, there's a chance to be
03:25called world champions, write your name in history and hold that title for the next two
03:30years, it's a tournament that will only take place in alternate years.
03:3715-1.
03:44Lovely play from Coquinieto right up at the net, waiting for the moment to find the gap, they
04:04get Kueyo and Tapia moving a little bit off balance and switches up the angle.
04:11Kueyo and Tapia trying to find the gap through the middle of Tapia.
04:18Kueyo and Tapia trying to find the gap through the middle of Tapia.
04:21Kueyo and Tapia is there to save the day, tries to pop it out the court but it stays in.
04:28Kueyo and Tapia.
04:29Kueyo and Tapia
04:41LeNe beleницiong, is there to saving the day, tries to pop it out the court but it stays in.
04:44He almost gets the block, spinning round, into the net.
04:51Into the net.
04:54The crowd thoroughly enjoying it, however.
05:03As Yangwas is well out the court.
05:08Leaving them very exposed.
05:09It was a brilliant save from Gokinieto to finish off the point while Yangwas was still outside.
05:21Cuello has to adjust as it bounces off a little bit unpredictably.
05:45And now a break point again.
05:51Smash from Cuello, it's out of the court from Mike Yangwas on the return.
06:01Sorry, smash from Tapia.
06:03Response out of the court from Yangwas.
06:07Didn't quite come far enough over or at the right height from Tapia.
06:16Yangwas is able to pop it out the court and equalize at three games all.
06:23You can hear Gustavo Prato in that break telling Cuello and Tapia,
06:26it's not quick today.
06:28It's a slower court.
06:29You're going to have to work really hard on those smashes.
06:38But at the minute, it feels like the confidence.
06:44The confidence.
06:45So the words from Matias Marina on the bench of Gokinieto and Mike Yangwas.
06:51Positive.
06:52Is the theme of that conversation they just had.
06:57He's loving the Bahara but just be a little bit careful on the height and saying,
07:07we can be a bit more aggressive with the Vibra up at the net from Nieto.
07:11But Matias Marina saying, keep on playing brave paddle.
07:15Keep on doing what you're doing.
07:16It's working.
07:17But that is out of the court.
07:19Beauty from Tapia.
07:29If you play it softer, you have more time to get up.
07:32Also, you notice different positionings of the serve.
07:35It can go into the glass on that corner, but it cannot go into the cage.
07:39That would be a foul.
07:45Great defense from Cuellar.
07:47As him and Tapia have switched sides.
07:49Sweated past the forehand of Tapia.
07:51He gets it back behind his back somehow.
08:01And they've switched back to their more natural positioning on court.
08:04The smash is just out and it's tapped in by Koki Nieto.
08:13As Yanguas looks up to the crowd and says,
08:16this is what you wanted to see.
08:21As they take the game.
08:34Look at that get from Koki Nieto.
08:39He doesn't try and fire it back across.
08:41He just touches it in gently.
08:44And the praise from Yanguas.
08:4615-30.
08:56High lob from Cuellar.
08:59He watches it into the corner.
09:04Down the middle.
09:05Can Koki?
09:06He'll get there.
09:07Yes, he can.
09:08But in comes Koki Nieto with the smash.
09:09And Tapia can't get a touch.
09:10Down the middle, can Cuello get there?
09:31Yes he can, but in comes Coquinieto with the smash and Tapia can't get a touch.
09:40I really enjoyed that point, the crowd here on the centre court, look at that get from
09:48Cuello at the back of the court.
09:53And it feels like Tapia is centimetres away, millimetres even.
10:05And into the net by Mike Young-West, a huge shout of Vamos from Agustin Tapia as the top
10:12seeds take the first set with a second break right at the end.
10:19And they win that first set by a fine margin, six games to four.
10:29That first set was where Cuello and Tapia come out six games to four after that second break
10:34straight at the end.
10:36And during that set break it was Gustavo Prato towards Cuello and Tapia saying,
10:40Well fifteen.
10:41Coming out into the second set, we're going to play a little bit better, we've got to
10:45run more.
10:46It's a theme running throughout what Gustavo Prato is saying to Cuello and Tapia during
10:50that first set.
10:51And for Matias Marina on the side of Nieto and Young-West, he was positive, he was saying
10:58we're playing well, more of the same.
11:02And when you've got two pairs like this who compete at the top of their games consistently
11:13and are always consistently reaching deep runs in competitions, the only real.
11:17They've now gone beyond that after getting the title in Rotterdam.
11:28Look at that shot from Cuello, but it goes out of the court at the back from Coqui Nieto.
11:36Fifteen points.
11:39Fifteen points.
11:59Fifteen points.
12:0730 on.
12:37You can feel the tension in these rallies, in these points.
12:52That 30 love, a little shake of the head from Yangues. He's not super happy about these last couple of points.
12:58Feels like Cuey and Tapio have just flipped a switch. It's a great get from Coquinieto that time.
13:03Yangues gets the touch but he's into the net.
13:07And he's up pretty quickly but first let's see that beautiful get from Nieto.
13:2340 love.
13:28A good game for the fourth seeds to win and keep the pressure on Cuey and Tapio who lead 4-2.
13:36A good game for the fourth seeds to win.
13:39Now if the Tapio is serving.
13:43Cuey and Tapio was scrambling at the back of the court.

14:07Guaranteed love.
14:25Out on the cross court from Dabia.
14:37Cuello crosses over to the left-hand side.
14:42They quickly cross back.
14:44And Cuello telling Tapia exactly where Nieto and Yangwas were.
14:4930 all.
14:59Well adjusted by Nieto on the return.
15:02Lifted high by Yangwas,
15:04listening to Matthias Marina on that lob.
15:08And it's out from Tapia.
15:10A couple of little errors on the bounce.
15:14Give Nieto and Yangwas a great point.
15:16And popped out of the court from Yangwas.
15:20And popped out of the court from Yangwas.
15:30They get a break.

16:58Because look at this point from Iangwas.
17:03Point of the match.
17:06Incredible. Just incredible.
17:10And the passion from Gustavo Prato. Very happy with that point.
17:23And the smash from Agustin Tapia is picked up by Iangwas.
17:42Out of the court it goes.
17:49He is jumping as he plays it.
17:51Advantage, Nieto Iangwas.

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

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