00:42 (crowd cheering)
00:44 - Oh, lucky, lucky.
01:05 - So the net, playing its own game.
01:09 - Team that last match yesterday,
01:12 pretty more peace and rouble.
01:14 Sometimes start with the ball,
01:16 it's just gonna sit on top of it.
01:18 - Wow, wow.
01:35 (crowd cheering)
01:39 - Beautiful.
01:40 - That was some silky play.
01:42 Notoriously plays from the back of the court,
01:46 but what a volley that was.
01:48 Oh my goodness.
01:59 - Well the whip on both players there.
02:03 But El Peke,
02:05 reached far down for this.
02:08 That was good, but this was even better.
02:11 - Diego, the first time you've dropped
02:16 to first quarter this week,
02:18 but you're gonna turn it around, aren't you?
02:21 - I hope so.
02:21 But I need some mistakes from him, you know,
02:25 he was not missing the ball,
02:27 reaping when he had the chance.
02:29 And yeah, he deserved the first, but you know,
02:32 it's a different one, the second.
02:34 So let's see what happens.
02:36 (air whooshing)
02:38 - Senor!
03:02 (crowd cheering)
03:04 - So good.
03:06 - Semi-final, Schwarzman.
03:07 - It's in.
03:17 (crowd cheering)
03:18 Greener.
03:19 (crowd cheering)
03:21 I'll tell you what,
03:25 Pedro DiMitriov has come out firing in this semi-final.
03:30 No one has been able to compete yet with Diego Schwarzman.
03:34 (crowd cheering)
03:37 - Great shot.
03:50 No way.
03:55 - There you go again.
03:56 - Stop it.
04:04 (crowd cheering)
04:07 - Big ball.
04:11 - DiMitriov.
04:14 - Green, green.
04:26 (crowd cheering)
04:29 - How did he get that back?
04:31 - That's too good though.
04:36 (crowd cheering)
04:37 It's a relieved celebration,
04:40 because it's taking a lot to get it past G-Unit
04:43 at the moment.
04:44 (crowd cheering)
04:47 - That is how good it has to be right now.
04:51 - His card to play at some point.
04:55 (ball bouncing)
04:58 Again, right in the corner.
05:01 No chance at Alpeca.
05:03 He gets it back.
05:04 - 10, nine.
05:04 - But all the initiative.
05:06 DiMitriov.
05:07 - G-Unit.
05:08 - How are you doing?
05:09 That was tough out there.
05:11 We thought you were back in the quarter,
05:12 and then Grigor's been so good with his card.
05:15 So how are you doing?
05:17 - I mean, being honest, I think I'm doing great.
05:20 I don't know what the people think.
05:24 I think they are enjoying the match.
05:26 - Yes.
05:26 - So let's do this.
05:29 In the next five minutes, the people can vote.
05:33 - Okay.
05:34 - If they are enjoying the match,
05:36 they give me a quarter to me.
05:37 (laughing)
05:40 - 3.30 local time.
05:43 (ball bouncing)
05:46 That's too good though.
05:48 (crowd cheering)
05:52 - One off.
05:53 - What a shot.
06:01 What a shot.
06:02 - What a shot indeed.
06:04 - Popcorn worthy, as we see.
06:08 (dramatic music)
06:10 - That's where he believed.
06:16 - Stick it.
06:18 (crowd cheering)
06:21 - Vamos indeed.
06:23 - Yes sir.
06:33 - El Peque.
06:34 (crowd cheering)
06:35 In perilous form right now.
06:37 - Oh, that's a lovely shot.
06:47 - That was the right play.
06:49 - Well done.
06:51 (ball bouncing)
06:53 (crowd cheering)
06:58 - I was ready for that, Jenny.
07:00 I was ready for that.
07:02 - I love it.
07:03 - I felt it was appropriate, no?
07:05 - We heard the bell.
07:06 Here we go.
07:08 Come on Diego.
07:10 Come on Frankfurt.
07:13 Make some noise for Diego Schwarzman everyone.
07:15 (crowd cheering)
07:18 (upbeat music)
07:21 - Great effort Diego.
07:26 - Pesky net is getting involved.
07:36 - Yes sir.
07:40 - Oh, nearly.
07:42 - Great effort.
07:42 - No one can beat you at that game.
07:46 - Epic.
07:47 (upbeat music)
07:49 - Seen a few of those shots today.
07:54 - You relax with that cushion.
07:59 (crowd cheering)
08:06 - Where Dimitrov looked tight earlier, solid everything.
08:12 - Let's go, keep going after it.
08:13 Let's go.
08:14 - A bit on point.
08:15 Just a little bit loose now.
08:17 (crowd cheering)
08:35 - This is exactly what we've seen all week in Frankfurt.
08:37 - There you go, I didn't make it.
08:39 - Thank you.
08:40 - You can smell sudden death.
08:42 - Seven points in a row for the Argentinian.
08:45 And remember, if you make the final,
08:47 even as a runner up,
08:49 that's 15 points to your UTS race ranking.
08:51 (crowd cheering)
09:00 - Not finished as that team is.
09:05 (crowd cheering)
09:07 - You did that a couple of minutes ago.
09:20 (upbeat music)
09:22 - She's gonna pull the trigger first.
09:46 (upbeat music)
09:48 (crowd cheering)
10:03 - Well, Schwarzman went to sudden death
10:06 in all three of his group matches back in Los Angeles.
10:09 He finds himself in another one here.
10:11 Both players drained after that rally.
10:15 And it's match point to Grigor Dimitrov.
10:18 - Match point.
10:20 - Two consecutive points wins you the sudden death.
10:22 It's a precious serve.
10:25 (crowd cheering)
10:33 - Grigor Dimitrov, two units,
10:35 is into his first ever UTS final.
10:39 He has defeated Al Pecki.
