Same thing for Alex Chozas and Javi Barahona (TS6), who also won the first set in the tiebreak before losing to Mouriño / Piotto: 6/7 7/6 6/3.
Among the girls, it was the pair reformed for the occasion between Maria Rodriguez and Nuria Rodriguez (TS2) who won. inclined from the start against Marchetti / Godallier. Here again, the favorite pair on paper took the first set, before losing the next two (5/7 6/4 6/2).
