Alvaro Robles vs Eduard Ionescu | Butterfly UTT Season 7 | Tie 8 Match 1 - Highlights

...experienced player here, Ionescu to start it off. Also has a daughter playing. Nice inside-out forehand on the step around. He recognizes the opportunity so quickly, gets a passive receive, and now we just side-swipe. ...stakes that early lead. 1-0 in front of Edward Ionescu. His serve, setting up beautifully, and with a forehand down... ...ball attack on the circuit. They need to stay there by the end of this season. Cautious play on both sides. Behind the table, and it's long. The understanding is that when you're behind the table, you want to keep it baseline. ...more guard, a loop goalie-unlike serve for Ionescu. Here it is, moment of truth. Oh, that's got to be over. 35.7 at its peak, it's measured. And there it is. So, false serve, only two remaining unsuccessful challenges, and the point is for Alvaro. Edward Ionescu's been bright on the international stage. That's just the level here in Butterfly, UT. Point for Robles here. I was going to say, Unker was born ready. ...pressure on, I thought he was going to put some sides. Once again, Ionescu. Ionescu hangs between the first match between Alvaro Robles and Edward Ionescu. Tie score, 1-1. ...use the forehand to play it on his elbow from time to time. ...for example here, into the middle of the table. Shallow spin, but good defense. ...is deadly. It was like he pulled it on a string. The ball just followed so fast. And at the Butterfly timeout, not a point dropped yet. Check this out from another angle. Soft flick, parallel spin, and this one here. Oh, inside out. Man. 6-0, Alvaro deja vu. It's tough when you have these habits for the team. 10 match points for Alvaro. Not even the chop block comes down. A bagel. I don't think we've seen one. I don't know if I've ever seen an 11-0. This is a big win.
