00:00And here comes Chingotto and Gonzalez, as happy, as smiling as ever.
00:08Kunio Cuero is the owner of Crew Paddle, and they were in magnificent form last night.
00:16They came through in style against Gueyo and Alonso.
00:247-6, 6-4 against Team Béa, and no wonder they're smiling.
00:28Play 2-1-2.
00:32They are the holders, the defending champions.
00:35And here comes Team Advantage, so well-known, so well-respected.
00:46They won the Hexagon Cup two years ago, and this very pair were at the heart of it.
00:52They finished third last year, again, with Martin De Niro and Juan Teo at the heart,
00:57and now they have a chance to show that they want that trophy back from 2024.
01:03So, umpire calls us to calm and quiet.
01:09The evening session here at the Generale Hexagon Cup, 20-26 is underway with four of the greatest players,
01:16and Chingotto leads the way, highest ranked, third in the world.
01:20What a great little touch from Chingotto now, first big attempt by González.
01:28This is the first point?
01:30Oh, goodness, what's coming?
01:32And for Sarah, I would say, right?
01:37He's going on for Sarah, but that shot from Momo was a little bit overpowered.
01:43They don't really need that much amount of power for giving so much.
01:48Either to hit or no, because if you're making a mistake.
01:50But when your partner says, see, or yes, or go for it,
01:53then you feel more, kind of, OK, if I miss, it's our fault, not your fault.
02:01No, no, no, no, no, unbelievable, Chingotto everywhere!
02:05This paddle, you reset, you restart the point.
02:11Unbelievable.
02:12Change side again.
02:16Amazing, very good point.
02:18Super good there, also Delphi Brea supporting her team.
02:25They know how important it is to win this match
02:28if they really want to get to the final.
02:31Delphi Brea and Martina Calvo, you can see there, Delphi,
02:34she won the opening match of the day,
02:36which has confirmed Advantage in such a strong position.
02:39Nine points already in the standings, they win this, they get...
02:42So if Advantage wins, gets to the final.
02:44Oh, they're in the final already, they're there.
02:46Oh, yeah.
02:48Two great points, then, for Advantage.
02:52Wow!
02:54Who's gonna take this one?
02:55Tello is everywhere, as well, eh?
02:57Tello is on fire,
02:59and it's not very good news for the crew team.
03:02He will reach this?
03:03Yes, he will!
03:04Oh, ho, ho!
03:05And have a look at what the portraits!
03:08Behind his back, an amazing recovery.
03:13Fantastic.
03:16Nortentino played the big boy.
03:17You know, he's like a monster, you know, that's when he...
03:21During the point, he moves very quick, but when the point stops,
03:24he moves like a beast.
03:27185, he stands, compared to Mono Vandrales, for example, it's 180, so...
03:34From both teams.
03:35A lot at stake.
03:36Yeah, yeah, I mean, very quick.
03:37And usually, these four players will play long rallies throughout the match.
03:42It's a very special moment here now, because if they go to 4-1, it's a very bad news for the crew team.
03:49Look at the Chiquita.
03:52Here we go for a smash.
03:53Here we go for a smash.
03:54Dale Cingotto say, and Dale Cingotto, yes!
03:57That was Momo Gonzalez!
03:59With that smash bringing back to his own side, he wants to own the court.
04:05That's what we saw so much of from Cingotto last night.
04:10But when Momo Gonzalez gets going, this is his trademark to a powerful point.
04:19Yeah, but if your opponents are running forwards when they play the love,
04:26then you're under pressure, because you've got to either play slow,
04:29they can block it, or play hard, they can reach it.
04:37He's going to get this.
04:38He did.
04:39And look at this, Momo Gonzalez is absolutely on fire!
04:44That backhand volley, por tres, por tres, por tres, and now we are 3-3, tres, tres.
04:50Great back, Jonathan.
04:51Look at this.
04:54We've seen it's fascinating to watch how the balance and the momentum of a play
04:59and a set can move, because at one stage you thought 3-1 up, Deo and Inero on their way,
05:04but Momo and in particular Fede has just found a spark, and they're on their way back.
05:10Do you remember what I told you in the lunchtime?
05:12I told you this, exactly, it's like Messi, it's a goalkeeper, you know, Messi or penalties,
05:19OK, Messi goes to the goalkeeper.
05:20That's not good news.
05:21That means that the goalkeeper is not doing a good job.
05:23It doesn't mean that Momo is not doing a good job.
05:26It means that he's in front of Deo and Inero, but doing a better job.
05:38Chinggoland.
05:39No way!
05:45No way!
05:46Oh, oh, oh, oh, almost there!
05:49Cat Oteo almost catching the fly!
05:52The cat!
05:5340-15.
05:54These are the kind of points I expect to watch in this match.
05:59Very tactical and one winner.
06:02Great one.
06:03Not yet.
06:04Great one.
06:05But Tybrick, they said the end of the first set if it goes.
06:07Not yet.
06:08With a golden point.
06:09No, no, no.
06:10If Chinggoto loses his serve, then you sense Krupadl on their way to the third and fourth
06:17player at best.
06:18Whoa!
06:19That's a great shot.
06:20Whoa!
06:21That's a great shot.
06:22And Momo is there.
06:23They're still alive.
06:24Have a look.
06:25Chinggoland.
06:26Chinggoto playing that Rulito.
06:28Rulo down the line.
06:30Slow.
06:31Look at this.
06:32Boom.
06:33Slow.
06:34It's a kind of Rulo Viboreja.
06:35Between Viboreja, Rulo, Bandeja, everything.
06:37Only Chinggoto can play that shot.
06:39Still two break points.
06:44Look at Momo.
06:46What the team needs.
06:47That power.
06:48That winner.
06:49That left side player going for it.
06:51Very well done.
06:52That shows how mature is him on his side.
06:56You know?
06:57He knows when and what he has to do.
06:59He can lose the point.
07:00Yeah.
07:01He can.
07:02But if he doesn't, he wins.
07:03This is golden point.
07:06And here we go.
07:08More pattern for everybody.
07:104-0.
07:11Second set.
07:13Big save.
07:15Teo, you block the ball, it drops down.
07:17It's very difficult to block that shot
07:19when it comes with that amount of spin.
07:27It's like a chess, you see?
07:32It's like chess.
07:33They move, little moves, chiquitas.
07:35Love again.
07:37Love again.
07:53Oh, what a shot!
07:54What a shot!
07:55What a shot!
07:56It's Momo!
07:57Everything to Momo!
07:58Big applause!
07:59Everything to him.
08:00I told you this is the beginning.
08:01It will depend on him.
08:02If he doesn't do these shots, no Teo, no Dineno will give him a chance.
08:11He got to win.
08:12The others are not going to lose.
08:14That tactic has been the last few games and points of this fantastic match we're watching.
08:20Chiquita, lob again.
08:21What a match!
08:22What a match!
08:23What a match!
08:24What a match!
08:25Those who love battle!
08:26I assume that you might be watching home, I'm watching like, oh yes, this is battle!
08:28Chiquita log again what a match what a match those who love battle I assume
08:49that you might be watching home I'm watching like oh yes this is panel
08:54because sometimes you see some of the tournaments out out there throughout the
08:58year that the court is very quick for example so you see players like Chingota
09:03who cannot play his game is only smashes and smashes and that's it but in this
09:08court with these four players this is you don't win with one shot you've got a
09:20maneuver everyone into position just as in chess as you said here we go here he
09:27goes oh no way you have to be kidding me have a look on that shot cannot believe
09:36poor mama Gonzalez that he played a fantastic point a fantastic match that's
09:41why there is nothing like it there is nothing such as a lost cause where was
09:45the ball gonna go you thought that was disappearing instead I thought someone's
09:49praying I'm sweating I mean my hands are sweating I am sweating I'm not even
09:53playing I'm not even moving more than my mouth to talk to all of you but I think
09:59this smells like this smells like a super tyrant it's coming in oh and again Chingoto made it
10:12possible we will have what everyone is looking for a third set super tyrant Kun Aguero is celebrating
10:20the whole team is celebrating as if they were already the winners but this is not all set we've got to
10:26wait until the next ten points on the third set a super tiebreak beckons they have their chances team
10:35advantage they didn't take them instead this is how crew paddle kept alive their chances of appearing in
10:42the final and retaining their trophy hey you know that day but the thing is at the last point of the set
10:49they played today the last part of the round robin decide who goes to the finals tomorrow no no no no no no no
10:58no no no no no no
11:00PABLE CHAMPAGNE thanks to these four beautiful and amazing paddle players have a look at this
11:16Players, have a look at this.
11:18Chingoland, Chingoland, from Olavaria, Argentina,
11:21to the world of Pernod.
11:24How do they do it?
11:26They are some of the best in the world,
11:28particularly Federico Chingotto.
11:32People can't believe it.
11:33They're watching them, like, what's going on here?
11:37Here we go.
11:39Crazy.
11:40And that is it.
11:40Almost.
11:41We're here.
11:43This for the match.
11:46And that's good enough.
11:56The recovery, the comeback is complete.
11:59Crew paddle.
12:00Keep alive their chances of reaching the final.
12:08Amazing, amazing match.
12:10A very well-deserved mama Gonzalez.
12:13Made the difference for crew team.
12:18We know Chingotto is the best.
12:20We know Chingotto can be even the number one in the world.
12:24We know who he is.
12:25But the one who had all the pressure on this match is this guy with the red cap, Mr. Momo Gonzalez, who played at the very end his very best.
12:35That's why the crew team won.
12:37And to be fair, if you're just joining us, at the start of the match, Maury Andrini was saying, the key to this match is how well does Momo Gonzalez play.
12:47If he's on song, then they're all singing it their way and dancing to the final.
12:52If they get it wrong and Team Advantage play on him and expose him, there's trouble.
12:58But in the end, you can see the smiles.
13:01Fantastic.
13:03I love to see these competitions.
13:05It's not usual.
13:06I mean, it never exists, something like this, you know, where we can enjoy players competing.
13:12I mean, with different partners in teams, men, women, next gen, all together with celebrities as a club owners, a club owners, a team owners like Eva Longoria, who is not this time here with us every year.
13:27She's the owner of 11.11, who's still got a chance of knocking crew paddle out, depending on how things go there.
13:34But they are still in with it.
13:36And there is Kuna Guerra.
13:37You can see how much that means.
13:38They were in a corner, they came out swinging, and they're now center stage.
13:43Look, look.
13:44That's the celebration.
13:45Vamos, vamos, vamos, vamos.
13:47Lovely.
13:48So who's your MVP, then?
13:51For me, I have just said to all the production team, is that guy is the moment of his hands.
13:58But, but, I've told them at the very last point, because Cingotto, if without Cingotto, we all know that Momo wouldn't have fixed it.
14:08We all know this.
14:09We all know it.
14:11But I said to them both were MVP, but, but, the one who is the last point is the MVP.
14:17And that's what Momo did.
14:18You heard it here first, so let's go down to Paola.
14:20Who?
14:21Well, that's what he said.
14:22At that point, because he showed the end of the production team.
14:23He said to them both were MVP.
14:24He said to them both went through their weekly support, and he said to them both back and forth.
14:26But he said, he said to them both wereифsy, and he said to them both were
