[00:12:11]One, two, two.

[00:12:42]Here two sign out.

[00:13:08]Two, two, one.

[00:13:18]After we do the round one, one time out play at 3 2 1 play 3 2 1 There's that forehand speed up from Brandon French there. Just so dangerous from the wing.

[00:14:09]>> When you watch him play, you see him pull a lot of wide forehands. Um, it's a very dangerous shot of his.

[00:14:18]Little long on the third shot drive of Chris Crouch 2.

[00:14:35]>> Second serve.

[00:14:40]232 start up >> DJ throwing his arms up like how did you place that there? I think little bit of a shank from Kase Campbell. Still a great counter.

[00:15:01]>> 3 2 1 I'm just long. I think that ball was a little bit low to be speeding up. 421.

[00:15:36]>> What a rip on that first ball there though from Case Campbell.

[00:15:41]>> He's a very wellestablished singles player on the PPA Tour. So, look to see some heavy third shot drives and spin from him.

[00:16:00]And there you see a four hogs.

[00:16:18]>> Yeah, Kase has been driving really big.

[00:16:21]I'd like to see Chris come over and look to poach on some of those fifth shots.

[00:16:37]82 out >> there. He looked to do it. Just great volley there from the Hogs.

[00:16:54]281.

[00:17:07]>> DJ set himself up perfectly there. Just couldn't finish that two-handed back >> hand.

[00:17:27]Electric hands from Chris Crouch there.

[00:17:30]>> Great slide with the backhand.

[00:17:40]Good hands again from Chris Crouch. But a deceptive pull from Jason Campbell there. Use his whole body.

[00:18:01]9 to1.

[00:18:08]Second serve 922.

[00:18:35]291 Point >> 391.

[00:18:59]>> Ooh, no unwind of the stack there from Florida Smash. We've seen Kase and Campbell play the left side a majority of this men's doubles game, so we'll see if we see that again.

[00:19:18]the rally stand. The ball was in.

[00:19:21]>> So, the ball was in. What a shot from DJ Young.

[00:19:25]>> Very impressive how he's able to spin that ball in crosscourt and he was a little bit off the line. I think he was still transitioning up to the kitchen line there. Very impressive.

[00:19:36]>> 59 on a one. Let's see if they can keep this run going here.

[00:19:47]And another deceptive forehand speed up from Brandon French.

[00:19:54]>> I think what makes him so dangerous is he has that great speed up, but he's also a very consistent player when he wants to be.

[00:20:07]See a little bit of energy coming from DJ now. See if they can keep this going.

[00:20:20]>> Yeah, I've seen a few just airs here from Kase and Chris. I'd like to see an a switch of the stack here. Yeah, there we go. Yeah, >> what a shot from BJ Young. I think that first third shot drop actually might have been going wide, but then we had an on the run one-handed backhand hook ATP.

[00:20:46]Very impressive. 991.

[00:21:12]>> Brandon French held that ball. I think he could have gone around the post there as well, but tried to send it through the middle. Just hit the net.

[00:21:20]Oh no.

[00:21:22]Unfortunate unfortunate net take there for Florida Smash.

[00:21:46]No, he didn't.

[00:21:49]>> I think they were down 93 in that men's doubles game. 001.

[00:22:05]>> Couple errors early from Martina here.

[00:22:10]>> One serve.

[00:22:25]>> Alli Phillips just smiling. Can't believe she missed that ball.

[00:22:36]>> Point two.

[00:22:56]Nice speed up crossbody from Case Campbell there catching Ally Phillips right hip >> again. K attacking the right side of her body getting her with that chicken wing.

[00:23:18]I'd like to see Ally slide a little bit more. She can be set up for that two-handed backhand counter.

[00:23:39]Two, two, one.

[00:23:49]57 22.

[00:24:06]>> Big angle from DJ Young. That one's not coming back.

[00:24:12]>> Ball tied up at 22.

[00:24:16]221 two points.

[00:24:41]3 two2 side out.

[00:25:01]>> 231 Second serve.

[00:25:13]>> Little slippery forehand from DJ there.

[00:25:16]I think Kase thought he was going to take that ball middle. 232.

[00:25:34]>> 3 2 1 Perfect read from DJ here. We'll see what replayed. He just cuts to that ball so perfectly. Just >> stretching a little bit. One more step would have been good.

[00:26:06]>> Little bit of a ambitious pull from Martina there.

[00:26:23]Point 52 out.

[00:26:43]Good aggression there from Case Campbell, keeping them back.

[00:27:09]351 >> few missed fourth shot errors off the paddle of Ali Phillips here.

[00:27:34]Both Alli and DJ Trent action here on Grandstand Court at MLP Columbus. I'm Camden Chaffen. I'm excited to be here commentating this match >> and a big point for Martina Frantova there setting herself up with the forehand drop shot with the forehand closed cross body. Very impressive.

[00:28:07]Seems to be a few errors from Alli and DJ. I'd like to see them slow this game down. I think a lot of these points have been going really fast and I think that favors Martina and Kase.

[00:28:22]>> Nice little Ernie there from Alli Phillips.

[00:28:37]852.

[00:28:47]>> Great rip from Kase. Lots of top spin on that ball, but just hit the net. Nothing really DJ Young could do there.

[00:28:55]They have a 95 lead for the Florida Smash after I think they were down 5-1 the beginning of this game >> 591 coin Two errors from the backhand side of casing.

[00:29:34]See if that's a spot they look to go.

[00:29:43]The ball is out when the ball is out.

[00:29:49]>> Still, I like DJ going for that, especially being down here. have to go for it.

[00:29:53]>> Remaining resume play at 692.

[00:30:14]play.

[00:30:17]>> Pick 92.

[00:30:30]>> What a sneaky little forehand from Martino there behind DJ. He was looking to poach off of that drop.

[00:30:37]>> Got to love the smile, too.

[00:30:45]Second serve.

[00:30:51]962.

[00:31:21]Always tough pulling a two-handed backhand from that low. I think if you're going to pull it from below the net, it should most of the time be one.

[00:31:35]7 91 >> point 8 91 >> second serve 892 big hands from Kase Campbell there.

[00:32:19]>> Alli trying to take him down the line.

[00:32:21]Kase was just there with that backhand counter.

[00:32:29]Not sure if I like that choice there on that third.

[00:32:42]>> We have another back Ernie from Alli Phillips.

[00:33:03]892.

[00:33:16]>> Little high on that reset from Ally there.

[00:33:20]Kase signaling that he's sorry. I think the ball could have taken may have hit Ally in like the chest.

[00:33:48]>> Yeah.

[00:33:50]And I really like that backhand pull from Kase. I don't even know if I'd call it a pull actually. I think he kind of dropped that paddle hit on his backhand and just spun the ball really well. Took some pace off of it. I really like that.

[00:34:06]>> And a missed return to end the game.

[00:34:10]>> Very solid play from Martina and Kase. I think match I think Zoe and Abby are both super solid women's players with great hands.

[00:34:19]Both like to have a lot of fun on the court when you see Zoe after missing that ser >> looking like just a ball of joy.

[00:34:33]>> And Connor and Chris Crouch play with each other a they've played with each other a few times on the Carvana PPA tour.

[00:34:44]>> So they have to know each other's games very well.

[00:34:49]One2.

[00:35:13]Wow, what a forehand crosscourt ding from Zoey one.

[00:35:26]>> Little early forehand to forehand crosscourt between the ladies.

[00:35:31]Look to see if we have more of that in this game.

[00:35:39]Couple errors off the thirds from the Florida Smash. Just getting settled into the game.

[00:35:54]>> One.

[00:36:02]>> Oh wow. We have a one hand backhand reach in from Abigail Hatton there. 01.

[00:36:10]>> You don't see a lot of the ladies reach in with their one hand back hand.

[00:36:32]>> Nice little backhand counter from Connor Mogul there. Two hands. I think Zoe sped that ball up and was looking for a forehand on the next one.

[00:36:43]Sent that ball right past her left hip.

[00:36:57]>> Big drives there from Conor Mogul. He is also a very good singles player on the PPA tour. He has won a few PPA challenger events.

[00:37:07]which is not easy to do. The competition at the PPA Challengers is very strong, especially in the singles. There's just so many players that you have to take down if you want to win that title. He's also had a few recent upsets, I think, on the PPA tour. So, definitely look for those heavy ground strokes and third shot drives. Here we go. 402 out.

[00:37:42]>> You have a 40 lead for Abby Hat and Conor Mogul here.

[00:37:46]>> Still very early. We've seen some crazy comebacks already in this match.

[00:37:54]Oh, >> little slippery misdirect off the forehand side of Abby Hatton.

[00:38:03]Love that energy from her.

[00:38:25]Yeah, it's a very nice counter there from Zoe. I would like to point out the resets though of Abby and Connor. Just very solid. I think they both had some great resets there, keeping them alive in the point.

[00:38:36]>> Very hard to get points off of teams who can reset very well.

[00:38:46]Time out 411.

[00:39:04]>> I think that ball just caught the line there from Conor Mogul. He's on fire with his hands.

[00:39:19]point.

[00:39:32]It's a great pool from Abby Hatton setting up Connor.

[00:39:37]I think Connor and Abby can be very consistent players also, but they seem to be bringing some aggression in this mixed doubles game.

[00:39:51]Just wide from Chris. He was on that ball.

[00:39:57]Now, Chris and Zoe are great competitors. I don't expect them to give up here. But if the Hogs get just three more points, we will be heading to a dream breaker.

[00:40:19]>> 812 181.

[00:40:44]>> I like Zoe going for that ball though.

[00:40:46]It's just a great third shot from Chris.

[00:40:48]I think you have to go for it, especially granted the score line. I think that's also a ball she'll make nine out of 10 times.

[00:41:06]Big one. One point.

[00:41:28]There we go. We have another forehand speed up misdirect from Abby Hatton. I think the wings are very dangerous right now, >> but we're on game point.

[00:41:52]I don't mind the lob. I think lobbing over the girl's left shoulder so it's her backing and mixed doubles is a great move, but maybe have to be a little bit more strategic about that one. Chris Crouch is a very athletic guy with a big overhead. Have to be aware of that. 10.

[00:42:07]One, two.

[00:42:19]Unfortunate ending there off the tape, but we will have a dream breaker.

[00:42:29]0 0 and it just landed.

[00:42:42]Chris saying sorry there. Sorry about the net. But still some great shots from Chris. I think he was in control at that point.

[00:42:50]>> Very big serve I'm seeing as well.

[00:43:03]Yeah, I actually just played against Brandon French at the last PPA in Atlanta.

[00:43:11]And we had a very close match. I actually closed it out like 118 and the third, I think. But one of his strengths is his net coverage. Very strong net coverage. Puts a lot of pressure on you up there. are very hard to pass, which I think makes for a good Dream Breaker player.

[00:43:35]There it was.

[00:43:37]>> Yeah. So, now we have a 3-1 lead for the Carolina Hogs.

[00:43:47]Green one.

[00:44:09]>> That's a great volley from Case Campbell.

[00:44:13]He's another player who also covers the net so well and just puts a lot of pressure on you up there.

[00:44:32]almost getting that ball over.

[00:44:34]>> Some great gets in that point from Case Campbell.

[00:44:50]>> Wow.

[00:44:55]What a forehand rip crosscourt from Kase there. Really using his whole body.

[00:45:00]Something I like a lot about his game is how much he uses his legs and twists his whole body. Makes for a lot of spin and power for sure.

[00:45:17]>> Great balls from Zoe Wheeler.

[00:45:23]I was talking with her a little bit yesterday and she really likes coming in a lot in dream breakers because not everyone is in like a groove. So I think when you go in it puts a lot of pressure on them in their passing shots for sure.

[00:45:39]There she goes.

[00:45:47]That being said, I think I'd like to see Ally Phillips come in.

[00:46:00]Oh, I think Zoe thought that approach from Ally was going out, but just caught the line.

[00:46:11]>> Unfortunate overhead miss though there from Ally. She set up a perfect point.

[00:46:17]Oh, and Zoe keeping that ball in. I think that ball was almost behind her.

[00:46:23]Very impressive volleys.

[00:46:27]Here we have Martina against Abby.

[00:46:31]>> Two players who don't play a lot of singles on the tour.

[00:46:41]>> And that's a great backhand whip from Martina.

[00:46:55]85 95.

[00:47:13]Martina is a player with a very heavy serve and forehand ground strike.

[00:47:20]>> So I think for four points she can be a very dangerous singles player.

[00:47:39]>> That's a big approach from Abby Hatton there.

[00:47:43]setting up her favorite shot, the overhead smash.

[00:47:59]>> That's great deception there from Brandon French.

[00:48:03]Very hard to see where that forehand's going.

[00:48:07]He had 31.

[00:48:09]He had a 3-1 win over Christopher Crouch in the first rotation. So, >> just two great forehand passes there.

[00:48:24]99.

[00:48:38]Even though Brandon had some great passes the first two points, I still would like to see Chris get up to that line. I don't think you want to wait for Brandon to get up there as he covers the net very well. Very, very well.

[00:48:52]>> Change in 119 Carolina Hall.

[00:49:00]>> I think that was four and out there from Brandon French playing some very, very solid singles right now.

[00:49:10]Look to see this match up between Kase and Connor as both players play on the tour consistently in singles and do very well.

[00:49:19]>> Time in 119.

[00:49:39]129.

[00:49:48]>> Both players just missing their back hand a little bit wide there. Past sure that ball was out.

[00:50:15]That's a great backhand little drop shot there from Case Campbell.

[00:50:22]>> Mogul just got to it but didn't keep it low enough.

[00:50:35]Wow.

[00:50:38]13.

[00:50:44]>> I thought those were some very impressive shots from Casey Campbell, but Connor running those balls down and ultimately getting that point.

[00:51:02]1213 out 13.

[00:51:22]>> 1412 side out 134.

[00:51:42]I'll recall 134.

[00:51:58]>> Yeah, I'm just very impressed by the net coverage from Zoe here, making it very hard to pass her.

[00:52:14]144 side out 15.

[00:52:36]It's a big backhandle turn there from Martinda. Very strong.

[00:52:44]15.

[00:52:58]>> Now we have a one-point lead for the Florida Smash.

[00:53:05]15.

[00:53:09]>> Ah, a few return airs from Abby Hatton, but big serve and big pressure from Martina.

[00:53:20]Now we'll have a >> two. Yeah, 17K. Yeah, two-point lead >> for the first match here. But we have the best matchup for the Hogs up here.

[00:53:33]So, see if Brandon can make something happen. Oh, what a great forehand rip from Chris Crouch. Looking over at his bench, wondering if they might have told him a spot to go >> 185 >> and a miss from Brandon French.

[00:54:10]1915.

[00:54:28]>> Chris being very clutch here. 2015 >> after this not being maybe the matchup that has gone well for him that past two times. But >> very strong passes >> and very impressive to go four and out on Brandon French >> closing that match out for his team. I mean what a great match though from everybody. I think everyone who was in this game played very
