luka majnik makes it five straight - mario vlahović still hasn't figured him out
Mario Vlahović came out swinging and actually nabbed the first set 6-4, which must have felt lovely for exactly twenty minutes. Then Luka Majnik flipped the switch, bageled him down to 6-1, and slammed the door in the tie-break with a brutal 10-2. That's not a comeback, that's a lesson.
And here's the kicker: it's now 5-0 in their head-to-head. Five meetings, five nightmares for Mario. Both men sit stuck on the wrong end at 10 points, but Majnik climbs to 14 and eyes Matej Jeretina (18) up ahead, with Martin Kranjc (also 14) breathing down his neck. Meanwhile, at the summit, Jan Hocevar (39) isn't losing sleep over either of them.
