00:00In blistering fashion, we'll give you the details if you're just joining us for the first time this week in a moment, but he is such a fearless player, really, really sensational tennis he's been producing this week, Luca Nardi, the young Italian who put out Flavio Caboli, his compatriot, yesterday with some brilliant tennis of his own, really.
00:21And even Manorino in the semi-final, very winnable match, someone who's been struggling, hasn't he? Absolutely. So what a chance to maybe go all the way and make a final this week.
00:51Easy pickings for Dam. He'll be at a new career high, no matter what happens today, next week. Up at 142 in the live rankings is Martin Dam.
01:06Oh, goodness me. That's the pick of the winners so far.
01:17Fittingly sealed with the seventh ace.
01:21This is better. This could be a turning point if he can get this opening hold.
01:37Make his dad happy.
01:38Yeah.
01:39Oh, wonderful.
01:53Nardi had no business at all to win that point.
01:57We were both applauding in the commentary box the drop shot from Dam.
02:00Yeah, I thought he got in with that one.
02:04Did so well, not only to get up to the ball, but then just to drop it over the net.
02:09And then that one is so difficult.
02:11Running back, you don't really have any...
02:12Well played.
02:24And well adjusted as well.
02:26Had to...
02:26Oh, he's found it.
02:33Needed a second serve.
02:34He hadn't seen one.
02:35Sealed with an ace.
02:42Of course it was.
02:44Martin Dam is a tour semi-finalist for the first time.
02:49What a performance from the youngster.
02:51Is a professional.
