With Kazyiski rested, the World Champions found its leader in Juantorena (6 aces) who literally won the second set single-handedly. Castellana Grotte gave it a good fight, though, going close to take both the first and third set. “We tried our best – said Sabbi – We gave it all on every play but there was nothing we could do”.
