“We could’ve had it, that’s the tough part about it,” Todorovic said after she willed a failed comeback. “If you’re not upset, you’re not a true competitor.”

“This shouldn’t have reached five sets. We should’ve taken care of it in the first and second.”

With a roaring comeback bid in the third and fourth sets, momentum was all in the side of Philips Gold but was immediately treated to a 1-6 start, something they did not recover from.

Making matters worse, Todorovic met a Jaja Santiago in the air with the youngster from Foton scoring a block for a 13-6 line for the Tornadoes.
