They therefore returned to form, after having therefore missed the tournament in Las Palmas (Gran Canaria) and Valencia, by eliminating very easily Maru Lasaigues and the young Aris Patiniotis. With this victory, they now total 31 consecutive victories.

Finally, of course, we had a shock of the titans who saw this time, Agustín Gómez Silingo-Fede Quiles beat Germani-Poggi pair 7-6 / 6-3.
