Gonzalez / Sanz began the match with remarkable intensity. From the start, they imposed their rhythm, achieved a double break and confirmed their dominance with a white game on serve to lead 5-0. In slow playing conditions, Cardona / Augsburger struggle to rely on their usual offensive power, especially their smash.

In the second set, Sanz / Gonzalez continue their momentum. They break early to lead 2/1, then roll out to 5/1, relying in particular on the viper and roller de Sanz, which maintain Cardona / Augsburger across the width of the court. The young pair reacted to get back to 5/4, but the Spaniards finished solidly on their serve and won 6/1 6/4 in 1h05.
