00:00And the arena is absolutely buzzing, I'm sure they'll be on the side of their
00:05beloved Paquito Navarro but Coelho and Tapia have wowed the crowds here all
00:11week with their brilliance. So here come Coelho and Tapia in fearsome
00:18form this season so far, in many people's eyes they start here as the strong
00:26favourites because they are just so good, such a well knitted together partnership
00:32so very hard to beat. No prizes for guessing who this Roman crowd will be
00:40supporting, there's the rock-solid Chingotto but behind him the fiery
00:46Paquito. They love him here, he's his great support here.
00:56The favourites, marking their territory.
01:26Paquito did supremely well but
01:40what a pick-up that was and again from Paquito and then the contrapared and then the finish, it's pure Paquito.
02:11So tight.
02:27Really smart but what a pick-up from Paquito, fired away by Chingotto.
02:38Changed direction so well there but even he can be put under pressure with the
02:51overheads. Paquito's pick-up again just sensational but now they turn him.
03:06Guided by Tapia looking for that awkward bounce. Exit from Chingotto and then Paquito
03:23puts it away. Spatial awareness is dazzling from both sets of players.
03:53Wrong footstool.
04:02Coelho down the middle, the point of the match so far unbelievable and Chingotto finds a way to hold.
04:24Fired by Paquito. So far of chances not taken, here's our brilliant net camp.
04:33Match so far, the clean winners.
04:36Chingotto exited, saw the angle, this is that angle, it wasn't far off.
05:07Outstanding from Tapia. Moves them back in front.
05:24There's that accuracy and power from deep from Tapia.
05:37Almost a primal roar there from Chingotto.
05:47You have to keep your head, you have to fuel that fire.
06:02Almost a dismissive hold there.
06:07Through the legs. No chance for Coelho.
06:14Move, move, move.
06:32That's a counter from Coelho but there's the effortless smash from Paquito.
06:43Paquito stretches and gets there.
06:56Paquito makes a rare error, particularly with that shot.
07:00Super pick up and then no hand raise there by Coelho.
07:20Tapia got a little bit lucky there and this time they do raise the hand.
07:24Finally wilting under the pressure, three set points after 51 minutes of play.
07:38And Coelho does enough.
07:42Does enough.
07:52That's what they wanted, that's what he was looking for.
07:56Two break points.
07:57There's the roar from Paquito Navarro.
08:28Exits there, Chingotto, Navarro recovers it.
08:38Finally they have to concede the point but they're battling for everything here.
08:45Paquito appears stage left but doesn't finish it.
08:54Tapia does.
08:58He was off and ready to celebrate, he had the guitar rack.
09:05Broke a string.
09:28Contra pared from Chingotto.
09:34Not able to get there, the scream you could hear was Tapia.
09:42Playing here with remarkable energy.
09:46The bounce was a nightmare.
09:51Tapia fell awkwardly.
09:56Now there's a concerned look from everyone here.
10:01He took quite a tumble there.
10:04Job done by Paquito.
10:12Paquito, there's the first set point.
10:15And the second set point.
10:19And the third set point.
10:24And the fourth set point.
10:28This is the second set point.
10:30Job done by Paquito. Superb reaction. Tapia.
10:44Such soft hand.
11:00Let's see what happened.
11:19Good one.
11:22Does he trust him, have a look again.
11:52That's what Pueyo saw.
12:11Both pairs are racing through these service games at the moment.
12:18And that theme continues.
12:22A massive lob there from Tapia.
12:30Shingoto meets it with precision.
12:33Tapia there.
13:04Pueyo read that all day long.
13:09And now, they draw the error.
13:20Somehow that drops in the corner.
13:29Astonishing skill from Pueyo.
13:33High into the Roman knight.
13:54There's that accuracy from Tapia.
14:03There's the exit.
14:14There's the punch in the air.
14:23Perfect execution.
14:29What a team.
14:33Well to reach that.
14:55It's a touch, but he also touches the net.
15:17Tapia there to calmly shovel it into the corner.
15:24Felt like a big chance.
15:28Shingo.
15:45Tapia again.
15:46I cannot tell you in the flesh how impressive that is.
15:50They recover their position.
16:02Outstanding again from Tapia.
16:10Shingo gets the flick.
16:12And Pueyo goes wide.
16:20He roars and the crowd responds.
16:34Going to be good.
16:35Pueyo to get us underway in the tiebreak.
16:50Apology instantly from Pueyo.
17:04Oh, Pueyo pounced at the net.
17:08First tournament point is saved.
17:10Hito spinning and twisting Pueyo with the power.
17:19Pueyo and Tapia rule in Rome.
17:37High level final.
17:39But the in-form duo come out on top.
17:44And it's their night at the Foro Italico.
17:51Tapia jumping for joy with friends and family.
18:02In fact, it was Pueyo who ran over there.
18:05Tapia.
18:08They're standing and surveying.
18:12Thinking about what they've just achieved.
18:14Big smile on his face.
18:17And how important he was.
