@@michaelziakI think Toroline actually sells his particular hybrid combo in a package under the name "K-Pro" (guess the K is for Karue?). He recently uploaded a short announcing a new combo called "K-Pop", which is basically the same but in a slightly softer version, so maybe this match was actually prior to that clip and that's why he couldn't yet talk about it.

What a treat, thank you! Karue had had 8 service winners vs Clay's 14. Clay's serve is huuuge. I tried to time his ace at 10:58 by counting the video frames and using an online serve speed calculator, it's about 130mph. It also bounced in the fence about 5 feet high! Karue's serve at 11:23 would be about 110mph. But Karue's serve placement is crazy good. Also, he won 79% of 2nd serve points which helped him hold pretty easily. Would love to see a rematch
