00:00On air. Wow-wee.
00:30Well, that's a TC opening point.
00:53Oh, nice change-up.
00:56You could hear...
01:01Oh! Demon or...
01:05Oh!
01:08We saw Umber not able to pass through them many times with the forehand in the...
01:30Well played.
01:46It's also the first rally of the tournament.
01:54Oh, that looks great.
01:57It was great.
02:017-4.
02:07Alexander the Great.
02:09Runa, too much to do.
02:16Oh, he's made it.
02:17He has smacked that just inside the court.
02:22Much to Runa...
02:23...this course or put some pressure on the Aussie.
02:26He's not going to with that kind of return of serve.
02:307-5.
02:41Oh, yes, sir!
02:44That is out of this world.
02:49Shot of the day. Get that man a watch.
02:52Get him, too.
02:53Get Hugo down here.
02:56Wow-wee.
03:00Yes!
03:05Yes!
03:08Oh, the court is fabulous.
03:10Just like this match.
03:17Oh!
03:18An apology from Alex, but he takes the first quarter in this final.
03:24I'm sorry, Holger. I'm really sorry.
03:28Your second UTS final of the season.
03:30This format suits you very well, doesn't it?
03:34Yes, well, I've played some great matches here in UTS.
03:37I enjoy the format.
03:39I think it suits my game very much and hopefully I can keep it going.
03:44What would you say about your opponent today, Holger Runa?
03:47What's the scouting report?
03:49The scouting report is that he wants his revenge, I'm sure.
03:54So I've got to bring my best level today, my best performance.
03:58Big intensity and hopefully make it physical.
04:01Did you remind him about that victory on Friday or not, just before?
04:04No, no, no. I didn't want to give him any more fire.
04:06He doesn't need it.
04:08Good start, Alex. Well done.
04:15There, guys! Come on!
04:192-1.
04:242-1.
04:44Big hitting.
04:50He has been clinical.
04:55Come on.
05:06There you go.
05:243 reliable second serves.
05:26So much spin.
05:34Oh, my goodness.
05:36Oh, how did that happen?
05:38He did all the hard work.
05:42But how has De Mino recovered from that shot off the net?
05:45It's a cannon off the net.
05:48But how has De Mino recovered from that shot off the net?
05:51It's a cannon off the net.
05:54Just...
06:15...reward that he necessarily deserved.
06:18He deserved that one, though.
06:233-1.
06:29Amun has got it.
06:3011-9.
06:31That's how...
06:42Skipping a jump again from Alex De Mino.
06:45It's the first time either of these finalists
06:48has converted a blood trick.
07:15APPLAUSE
07:37Hogaruna receiving a little bit of a massage,
07:40maybe a tight shoulder.
07:44Or just tired.
08:12He's on the board.
08:15Oh, that's such a great shot.
08:17But what a pick-up from Alex De Mino.
08:20There's absolutely nothing you can do about that.
08:29Great body serve from De Mino,
08:31and closes the angle quickly.
08:45Oh!
08:47This guy!
08:52When you're training against a brick wall,
08:54it just keeps coming back, doesn't it?
08:56I was just thinking...
09:05He let it bounce.
09:14Bruno was in charge of that point.
09:27But he doesn't convert.
09:3012-7.
09:45Oh!
10:06Oh!
10:08Well, well, well.
10:0915-8.
10:14Oh!
10:24He's got one back!
10:3215-9, De Mino.
10:45Oh!
10:53Oh!
10:54Alex De Mino is our 2024 UTS champion in London.
11:00His second final of the year,
11:02and this time he is victorious.
11:08A clean sheet for the Australian,
11:10undefeated throughout the entire tournament.
11:14Not once, but twice.
