Nice DA, I forgot Halmstad is not far from Gotherburg! I've been to Varberg once on business btw
Who won that match? Golovanov is a Russian guy who's been playing for Bulgaria for a few years. Though having left Bulgaria 18 years ago, I don't even know who are the top players there anymore.
Hope you get a glimpse of the equipment Luka is using now. While visibly less reversal, his blocks are still spot on and prepare the balls for him to attack.

I did nog get close enough to look at his bat but handle looks like Matador and he uses some Dr N anti. Not much spin reversal from his blocks... but that is because of the Butterfly ball.

the same ball from Amelie Solja thread?

Yes, I think it has two stamps on the ball, the other side showing the Butterfly logo

Enjoyed watching this match. Great play from both.

After watching a few of their newer matches I must say that it looks like both Luka and Balaban have stepped up their game quite a bit. I think they're both moving in the right direction in terms of developing their gameplans.
