žiga kranjc makes it four straight over little brother martin - awkward family dinner incoming
Family reunions are about to get frosty. Žiga Kranjc dragged brother Martin through a three-set thriller and slammed the door shut in the tie-break, 6-10. Sure, Martin nicked the second set 6-2 and pretended he had a pulse, but when the pressure peaked, big brother's nerves held and Martin's crumbled like a stale wafer. That's now four losses in four career meetings - the poor guy has never once beaten his own sibling.
Žiga sits second with 37 points, breathing down Jan Hocevar's neck (39), with rival Patricia Vehovec (36) lurking one step behind. Martin? Stranded in 11th with 14 points. One brother chases the title; the other chases the ball into the net.
