Darko Jorgic vs Guilherme Teodoro | MS R32 | #WTTSaoJose 2026

My goodness. If this guy can pull off a huge upset here, it's going to raise the roof as we see the first flash of a backhand serve from Jorgic. This patented serve plan for when you play Darko Jorgic. It's known. Everyone tries to do the same thing. You try to limit the damage. It's very, very fast. The ball hit. An interesting note coming back to this t-bar table is because this man in red. Yes, this t-bar table Darko Jorgic has grown up playing on them. People say he's an absolute monster. He's a different player. To the backhand serve we go. And what that does, he's two points away here from the opener. Another full of a sudden Darko Jorgic racing off into seven game points here. Such is the lead that Jorgic has built for himself. He's got five more opportunities and he gets it done. Could this star contender come home because Tom Jarvis has been in fantastic form as we see here. And again, watch this. The spin. That's. Oh, it did so well and it flipped unleashes backhand bombers. Wonderful rally breaks out and Teodoro on the attack. And this is really where he's got to try. When he's really flying the forehands go in as well. Not go loosely into the backhand of Darko Jorgic. Back edge. His receive missed the table. That's why it was Teodoro's point. That's a wonderful serve. He's working with the likes of Leonardo Izuka and Teodoro and Amane who we saw take it back. He's actually two points up. That's wonderful. Two for Teodoro. But can he get those final two points? He's got one of them. Has to do three more. Otherwise this is going 1-1. That's that backhand. It's so deadly to attack Darko's forehand or body here. Or does he just go long? Oh, it's wonderful placement. 60 second timeout that they can call at any point. Work out a coach, a strategy with his coach to try and close out game two, and it worked. Teodoro here pivoted. He stepped to his left and span up, but it was a little too slow and a little too high. The former world number six, Darko Jorgic. And then Jorgic can just pick the moment to attack with a little more pace. And he's now 6-0 up. Chop block. Teodoro in this one. That is Darko Jorgic. Teodoro couldn't that time. Obvious ball, the fast cross court one. He just slows it up. I wondered if it was a roller. It obviously bounced the once, but look at this for feeling from Teodoro when he needed it. He needs seven more, though, right now. It's been so wonderful so far in this event. Start to go again. What a way to just settle the nerves, though, to halt the momentum. Darko Jorgic with a wonderful forehand counter into the open space. Because game three looked like Darko Jorgic was on cruise control. Heading down to stay involved. And he almost brought it back. Wonderful backhand. Exactly where he didn't expect the ball to come. So either move it left or right. If we go now for Jorgic. Working with Teodoro and Izuka and the likes of Vitor Ishii. Helping them to improve. Expect to see that come out again in the latter stages of this one. A little bit more pressure through the ball. A little bit more power. Back on the table and it caught Jorgic by surprise. And it flicked. Rasenforce, Schauber and Kanak Jha on the way to the title. But always brilliant when WTT comes to Brazil. And just like wicked backhand serves. You don't know if it's going to go short or long until he's made contact. It's another one that spears Darko Jorgic through to the round of 16. And he finished it with that backhand. That's the one. That's his trademark. That's what makes him so dangerous.
