Very good tournament by Tiago Apolonia. Hopefully a strong portugiese team with Freitas, Apolonia and Monteiro will get very far in Tokio WTTC.

Nail biting finish

[@ardak1984]

Bad end, I also wanted Tiago to win... Bravo, Tiago! I want to see you in the finals of the next tournaments! Please develop your backhand! I hope you will do it!

0:26 Hmmm seems as if Tiago changes blades a lot. Here I see a Butterfly Korbel, and in the European Team Champs just recently I saw him using a Butterfly Liu Shiwen blade with Tenergy as well.

[@badcompany2984]

Apolonia kann von hinten mit der Rückhand keinen Druck aufbauen, daran muss er arbeiten.

[@paulgeuchen5837]

Die Kommentatoren merken ja auch an, dass apolonias rückhand im vergleich zu seiner Vorhand sehr schwach ist, die dafür aber umso stärker ist.

[@emanuelatencio3342]

Apolonia itsmpure forehand
