Niko Snoj vs Matic Kobal

First-ever meeting between these two, and Niko Snoj made sure it felt like a tutorial. 6-1, 6-1 in barely more time than it takes to tie your shoes. Matic Kobal managed two whole games — a generous donation from Snoj, who otherwise treated the baseline like his personal living room. Kobal's ground game looked less like tennis and more like an apology. Snoj climbs to 24 points at #13, now eyeing Matevž Draksler Federer (25) just above. Mario Vlahović breathes at his neck from #14. Meanwhile Kobal is stuck at #10, tied in the relegation swamp near the bottom, dreaming of the untouchable Matevž Sever's 57 points from a very, very safe distance.
