Big attacks from far.
Speaking of launch, he'll also launch Jarvis.
It's a hooking serve.
A lot of side and...
Late replacement.
Injured Bailey still runs.
Now he's on the board.
There's a flash of power.
Jarvis' free service motion, look at that.
Like a windmill.
Stop it.
Even the flick of the net didn't bother Sora.
But you've got to get him moving side to side.
That's when we've seen people do damage on him.
Like that.
Wonderful.
I love it.
Looked like the same serve again, but there was...
Six game points for Sora.
And just like that.
Speaking of...
And this is...
Good from Jarvis.
A good serve and a heavy spin up, but he didn't make...
Sora just suffocating him right now.
And he's doing what he wants.
First tower break.
Kamak and Tom Jarvis are very good friends.
But this is the pressure.
And the next one's already fired at you.
That's that serve received from Sora.
That serve from Tom Jarvis.
That's that one.
Jarvis with time to launch a big forehand.
Same again.
He did.
Serve received because it's just...
No idea where it's going.
That is a world class receive.
Things could get a little fun here in Macau.
That's gotta be the game plan.
You can see a few times.
Jarvis wasn't sure if the ball was coming on the table or not.
That one kicked in his face.
Wonderful serves under his spell, but...
First one misses.
Not just yet.
You could see the idea because...
Sora had already stepped to it.
Number one seed converts it.
With two backspin serves.
When he needed them most.
Probably a WTT fan saying,
Are you watching this?
Got that out.
Oh my word.
Rips the backhand.
Float serve by the look of it.
No spin on it.
Watch for Matsushima.
Again, good from Jarvis.
Not many people can force Matsushima back there.
And he is able to.
Another wonderful serve that kicked things off.
Another lovely fast serve.
What a wonderful moment there.
Jarvis.
Credit to Jarvis.
He's been able to drag it back to the high ball.
Looking to play that forehand from the backhand side.
Instead of holding that backhand.
There you go.
When your big power is in the forehand,
it feels a little bit...
Like you're trying to shoehorn it in.
7-8.
9-7.
Just think of the frustration.
Because Sora is within two now.
10-7.
A little bit of style as well.
He does.
Big forehand.
And Sora Matsushima extinguishes the flame of the Englishman.
Good high five from both.
