Žiga Kranjc vs Jan Hocevar

The rivalry finally got its plot twist. Žiga Kranjc walked in as the underdog and walked out having toppled league leader Jan Hocevar 7-6, 6-4, snatching that tight tiebreak like it belonged to him all along. Hocevar had led their personal duel 3-2, but tonight the numbers meant nothing — Žiga just refused to hand over the point that mattered. Hocevar clings to first with 39 points, but Žiga is right behind at 37, and Patricia Vehovec (36) is breathing down his neck too. Between two rivals who can't stand losing to each other, this leaderboard is now a knife fight. Jan, the crown suddenly feels a size too small.
