Franco Dal Bianco: “Our relationship makes the difference on the court. We've been living together for over a year, and that's a plus compared to other pairs. ”

Brazil + Spain = Final

The first break of the match is long overdue. When Alfonso plays on the right - because of his abdominal injury - the Argentinian pair is less lethal. In the fifth game Cayetano Rocafort and Julio Julianoti push the n ° 1 to the fault and take an option on the first set.

Federico starts to catch fire, and Gonzalo accompanies him with a very good job on the right side. Without a spike, he has no abdominal pain. So he lets his teammate take charge of the high attackable balls, and it works well. The Argentines are coming back.

But a punto de oro won by Julianoti allows his team to make another break, and to win the set on the next serve. 7/5
