A hold-up by Chingotto / Tapia

The awakening of the red and yellow

The second round saw a “domination”, that of the Spanish. Indeed, Lebron and Galan succeeded the first break of the match, much to the dismay of their opponents. The Spaniards led the race throughout this second set, without ever giving in to the assaults of Chingotto / Tapia.

It's the turn of the former number 1s to take the set: 6/3.

The Argentines are making the break!

The final act got off to a bad start for the Spaniards who, for the first time, let one of their engagements slip away. After leading the entire second set, they found themselves chasing the score… and it goes without saying that Fede Chingotto and Agustin Tapia were not going to let their opponents get back on level terms...

The match was decided in the seventh game of the third inning, where Galan / Lebron had multiple break points. Chingotto and Tapia, close to giving in, managed to stay the course and return to their bench, leading 5/2 on the scoreboard.

The loss of this game was a blow to the former world number 1s who gave up the next game... and therefore the match!
