He's playing that far left corner like a violin. Yeah, lovely drop shot.
Good heel, the air is at the moment, Tanaka. Yeah, good smash. Gets the height, gets the angle.
Lucia Tanaka immediately apologizes but it is indeed, it was for the taking.
Loose lift at the net from Ginting. Brilliant. A cross-court smash played to perfection by
the Indonesian. Good defense. Yep, defensive move. Yeah, catches the back line. Tanaka makes no
mistake. Keeps the rally alive. Makes short work. The down the line winner. Nice, a really nice
return. Almost sent Tanaka the other way. Ginting challenges. No, that's the right decision to
challenge. It's got the line and therefore that exchange was played to perfection by Ginting.
Brilliant net shot. Oh, super patient play from Anthony Ginting but never lost sight of the attack.
Quickly back on his feet but Tanaka is one of those players who just unruffled and knows that
he has his chance and his opportunity there. That was the one back to scratch for Ginting and
that'll surely have rattled him as Tanaka goes on the up and takes the lead for the first time
since 3-2 in this opening game. Well defended and again, stands out. Ginting will challenge.
It is indeed out. So an unsuccessful challenge by Ginting. Good rally this. Tanaka right at the
end changing it into a cross-court smash. Again Tanaka doing well to keep his opponent moving
on that occasion. Anthony Ginting, nice, jumped on the opportunity. Takes the lead for the first time
in game two. Yeah, change of pace. Goes cross-court. Nice shot. Well, sadly matching each other
touch for touch. Yeah, lovely control. Precision hitting from Tanaka. That's much better.
Clever play from Ginting just goes behind his opponent having drawn him forward with the net
roll. Eight match points for Yushi Tanaka. Gets it over and it's gone long and it's Yushi Tanaka
who delivers a straight games win against Anthony Sinusuke Ginting. 21-17, 21-12.
He's through to the Swiss Open final for the very first time in his career.
