Hugo Calderano 🇧🇷 vs Félix Lebrun 🇫🇷 | Men's Singles Final - WTT Star Contender Ljubljana 2025

Oh, what a backhand from Felix LeBrun. Never in a million years. Rally of the match. Six in the fifth and final game. This one's a best of seven. But I think you have to say that Hugo is slight Felix, now 18 years of age. You can see he's grown considerably in the last year or two. And very much matching the power of Hugo. So I'm going to go before that. Hugo won two here, as you said. Oh, and there we have it. This is their third meeting, by the way, in a season. We know what happened last year here in Ljubljana. Calderano winning four-love in the final. Oh, Hugo. Hmm, Felix. Well, Hugo's run trailing by two. Evan the net. And if you're playing short play, that's too high and the other player can attack. Oh, nice, soft, silky spin there. Yeah, Felix. They're drifting too long. Oh! Yeah, interesting. It's so useful when you have that. These courts officially. Fourteen courts. Punishing play from here again. The 28-year-old supremely fit, supremely mentally sharp. Wow. Yeah, so threats of his big forehand without actually having to play it. Good point there, Colin. It's the beware of... He can't. Bit the net. And again. He played the slower backhand. You have to do the right thing at the right time. French National Championships. This is the third French opponent in his favorite run. And Felix Aventis-Ferrer. Peter-Chan Baldwin, Chinua Newt, Soroh Matsushima, Darko Jorgic, all 3-1. Well, Felix Aventis-Ferrer goes away with $4,250. Plus whatever they won in the doubles. Oof. Already over-committed. Oh! It's just George Othwell, very good at the Rubik's Cube. Oh, lucky. Oh, prop. So while Hugo is doing well with control play, blocking well, and then when he... The divisiveness about Felix Aventis-Ferrer. There's a wisdom to the pen holder Hugo does. Delightful touch. Nice slow spin. Oh! So there aren't bigger events than this. Hold the phone. Go to Calderano last time. It still could be. Yeah, he's pleased with that. Oh! Good. Don't give up. He's... Too hot to hide. Oh! Oh, backhand down the lane. Won the first two games, but then lost the next four. So this is far from over. Peace. What would you be looking to do, Colin? That. I'd be looking to do a little bit more of it. Is to go in and out. You see, there goes circle help. There. Well done, Felix. You did a great return. Hugo going in and out. You might end up with him away from the tape shot from there. I'll look at him now. Nothing in between. There's the long. Yeah, right thing. Yeah, that one. Try. Long serve. Nicely played. Oh, that was a whirlwind. Oh! Oh, what a backhand from Felix LeBrun. Yeah. Never in a million years. Rally of the match. Oh, Colin! Oh, and he's taken. Two game points to Calderano. Top edge is that one. Good placement. Oh, lucky Felix. Goodness gracious me. Wow. Best backhand on the planet. And it's game. This game could go all the way. The man who beat him in the bronze. I love that one up. Needs four games to win the match in the championship. Champion. Didn't on that one either. Good change. Yeah. Oh, Calderano came in. Felix must have known. Another improvement. Not that one though. Oh, it's just a match. Lucky again. Looking. Taking a bit of advice. Goes to the crossover. Yes, that's the tactic for LeBrun points. Plays as well over the years. Oh, yeah. Continuing to reach to the back of it. That was wise decision making. Getting him into. Great serve. And therefore, you can get more grip on the ball. If you can control it. And for the World Championships 1977. Yeah. The other thing we worked out. But it took us a long time. You beat Felix LeBrun at the World Championships. Was complaining about that. But Calderano said, I can't help it. Hunting points. AWTT Senior title. Two all, six all. Yeah, and they're both pretty. Go on to take the match. I measured one rally frame by frame. And there was heat. Oh, LeBrun did so well. Upside down aeroplane wing. LeBrun on the edge here. And it's Calderano. Positive. So well. Far from easy. Oh, that's right. Really having to work and earn this. Oh, did that. Oh, and both playing. In case it comes long. Exactly that. You go in trouble. Going to fight to this last breath here. Oh, it was a lovely shot. It's all over. Calderano.
