SportsTranscript
00:00 Here we go, Rome winners against Rome runners-up,
00:03 Cuello and Tapio against Chingotto and Navarro.
00:06 Here we go, they're out first
00:08 because they're the lower ranks of the two.
00:10 On the left, six foot three inches of Arturo Cuello.
00:15 To his right, good friend Augustin Tapio.
00:17 It's a Spanish-Argentinian combination
00:20 that is working wonders.
00:22 They won a title in their first tournament together
00:25 and they picked up the premier pedal Rome major crown.
00:30 Here we go.
00:31 He's a crowd pleaser, Paquito Navarro,
00:35 just behind his partner Federico Chingotto.
00:39 Started together in April of this year
00:41 and it's already their third final together,
00:44 which tells you how well this Spanish-Argentinian
00:48 partnership is working.
00:51 (speaking in foreign language)
00:55 Oh, he read it, gave himself an awful lot of time
01:20 and just rolled it back.
01:21 That's all you need to do.
01:23 Just touch their side of the court.
01:27 Ooh.
01:32 Power has its place, but those first.
01:35 Ooh, just missed.
01:44 Skim the side of the cage,
01:45 must touch the floor of the cage before the walls,
01:49 side or back.
01:50 Oh, he's not had much joy with his overheads.
02:01 Gone again.
02:09 That's four overheads now from Quade,
02:13 two in the first game and two in the second
02:17 that he doesn't finish off.
02:19 - One game all.
02:20 - And it's a game of peace.
02:22 Little bit too much off the return.
02:29 Looking for the Chiquita, doesn't pull it off.
02:39 How about that?
02:46 It just needed the touch, the fist bump from Navarro.
02:50 Break points.
02:51 It's all it needed.
02:55 How about that?
03:06 Point one, break done.
03:08 First breakthrough in this final.
03:11 Goes to where the third seed is Federico Chingosa,
03:14 Chiquita Navarro.
03:15 They lead three, two.
03:17 It's a great get, but again,
03:41 it's the side hoardings that have come into play
03:44 and this is not good to see.
03:45 We saw this with Franco Stupicuk.
03:49 I think he's okay.
03:53 You saw the charge out there
03:58 and you can see him fly over at the side.
04:01 And then the look for Navarro
04:08 when he realized that his partner.
04:11 But once he is bandaged up, he will be back on court.
04:14 He'll get a roar from the crowd.
04:16 And there's the break back.
04:39 Didn't get it, just evaded him.
04:41 And there's the roar saying,
04:49 I might not have made that serve
04:50 and I should have done, I thought I had.
04:52 Clever, clever, just touched it over, drew them in.
05:04 (crowd cheering)
05:06 Hole to 15, business end first,
05:11 set five for the Rome champions lead.
05:15 There it is.
05:20 They know at the very least
05:22 it'll have themselves a tie break.
05:32 How about that for poaching?
05:33 It's what the very best do.
05:36 And it's a forehand volley into net for Navarro.
05:44 And that is the set done.
05:46 Have a look at this.
06:00 (crowd cheering)
06:02 He puts it away, he touches the net,
06:05 he voids the point, it's 30 all.
06:07 Ooh boy, gonna be sought, keeps them in the game.
06:22 (crowd cheering)
06:24 And there it is, the roar, the reach,
06:38 the break and the two love lead.
06:40 (crowd cheering)
06:43 Consolidation complete, a set and three love
07:05 for the Rome champions.
07:07 (crowd cheering)
07:10 Consolidation complete, a set and three love
07:33 for the Rome champions.
07:34 (crowd cheering)
07:37 He's out, he's got it.
07:40 Ooh, he's nailed it.
07:43 And he says to the crowd, come on,
07:45 show me what you think of that.
07:48 Does he think he touched it?
07:59 I'm sure he did.
08:03 (speaking in foreign language)
08:06 Ooh, well, well, well, where was it?
08:11 Just there?
08:12 Oh, break back point.
08:17 Oh no, again.
08:24 That is the third one this game for Cueo.
08:29 Third time, he just put it through the middle.
08:33 (ball bouncing)
08:36 Oh, they've got it.
08:46 Another opportunity to break.
08:48 That is the roar of Arturo Cueo.
09:01 (ball bouncing)
09:04 Oh, great work from Tapia.
09:09 Kept his eyes on the ball, followed it the whole way.
09:14 Says his backhand is his favorite shot, his special shot.
09:21 To be a game away from being crowned champions in Madrid.
09:28 (ball bouncing)
09:30 And there it is.
09:33 They had their opportunities, four of them,
09:36 but it's five, two, and a game from the title
09:40 for Tapia and Cueo.
09:42 (ball bouncing)
09:46 (speaking in foreign language)
09:50 Tapia wasn't even looking then when he hit that backhand.
10:06 (audience applauding)
10:09 (ball bouncing)
10:14 (speaking in foreign language)
10:18 After an hour and 18 minutes.
10:25 (speaking in foreign language)
10:27 Championship points for the champions in Rome.

11:34 Congratulations to your Madrid champions.
11:40 What a fight, what a turnaround for these two.
11:44 The set and a double breakdown.
11:48 They were not to be defeated.
11:49 They turned it round.
11:51 It's even bigger, the winner's trophy.
11:57 They'll get one each.
11:59 Look at that, it's a balancing act.

12:46 to add to their collection.
12:47 (speaking in foreign language)
12:51 - Smiles, bit more of a smile there for Arturo Cueo.
