First game was complete soft-game domination from Ben. It's nice to see that the soft game isn't dying due to new paddle tech. If anything, it's becoming more in demand.
6:51 Bad call on the “paddle scrape in the kitchen on the volley.” Yes, if the paddle hit the kitchen after the volley due to the momentum imparted to it from the ball strike, that it is a fault. But in this case the paddle touched first, paused, then volley. All while both feet were clearly established outside the kitchen. The paddle had a break in momentum between the scrape and the volley. So how is one supposed to “reestablish” outside the kitchen if not with both feet and a break in momentum? This ref does not understand the rule, and it’s not her first willfully blown call all the way through video review. She’s not a clear thinker.
Love watching Jaume play! Great personality. Great match.
I like the announcers comments in this match. They are positive and not constantly talking during points.
Jaume for the people
Bro had so much crowd interaction live
Great game
Good match!

Weird, Ben Johns playing with his old gen 2 Perseus. Guess he prefers more control in singles.
That's exactly why. He doesn't need the extra power that the 3S gives him in singles, he always wants to go cat and mouse which require more finesse.
Benny easily and with class avoided a possible Vichslap.
Ben looked real tired there.
Is jaume using the dbdE?
Black diamond power

Does Jaume have coped or asthma?
