The resurrection from Oeiras

The start of the second set looks like the first, but the Argentinean-Portuguese pair have the merit of hanging on to keep their service game.

Oliveira / Melgratti wins a decisive punto de oro to maintain this lead, and ends the game with another golden point! The final leaves for a third set! 6/3

Rematch

Federico Chiostri and Gonzalo Alfonso are often jostled. They regularly lose one set, but very rarely two. Once again, the Argentines demonstrate their ability to perform when the game is hotly contested. They make the entry break, and head for a new title.

But Melgratti and Oliveira haven't said their last word. On a new punto de oro they resume the station wagon. Miguel Oliveira calls on the physiotherapist to change sides, but nothing changes! New punto de oro won by Oliveira / Melgratti.

The match is getting tense. Gonzalo Alfonso warms up the audience who are with them this time around. The energy on the central allows the Argentines to make the break, and to serve for the title. In the last play, on a par 3 exit attempt, Yain Melgratti made contact with the base of the net. His cries of pain make fear the worst.

Note that Gonzalo Alfonso will not be present in Sweden. He still needs rest to permanently heal the abdominal injury.
