Seeing Fijalek play makes me miss him and Prudel. I really liked that team! The last 2 fivbs for Prudel, he's played with 18 y.o. parnters. 2 different directions for them! The interesting thing about that partnership is everyone attacked Fijalek and imo he was the reason for their struggles in the end because he couldn't side out. Then they break up and he is the one that went on to get a better partner and have better results. Prudel's game is curious to me. He's undersized, but such a consistent player but for whatever reason he cannot get a good partner.

He's one of those players that could do well in a split blocking partnership like Spain or Latvia.

Those Grimalts are two wicked athletes, defender has insane springs, both seriously explosive, really fun to watch them play as a unit.

The same Chilean team that many practically called garbage a week ago... anything less than a 21-3, 21-4 victory will be unacceptable in the eyes of a few.

Last time they played each other in Porec in 2017, Dalcena won in 2 sets but the scores were 21-11, 37-35.
Let’s see how things turn out tomorrow

Phil casually dominant once more Yes but seeing as Nick is getting 97% of serves, dude deserves ton of credit for being in outstanding condition, crazy tight, super quick, hitting variety of shots and scooping some sick line over balls. Nick was NOT in this condition last season, he's clearly put in the work this offseason and it's paying off big time right now. Agreed. His side out percentage is much better than last year. Even better in transition where he made a lot of errors.
