The battle was a battle of Titans, both of the contestants relying upon their heavy driving and smashing to gain their points.
The win was by no means an easy one, Aizawa covering court in extraordinary fashion and mixing up his hard drives. with clever placements and good work at the net. Kasmussen's power, however, "together with extraordinary accuracy,
eventually brought him down.

In the last game, with Rasmussen serving, he dashed to the net the minute the ball bad left his racket, and there, with killing force, put over four aces in a row.
