Le first set starts with great intensity. It was finally Paquito Navarro and Pablo Lima who managed to make the break at the decisive moment to win the first round. 7/5.

A beginning of second set very interesting. Navarro and Lima seemed to have put a blow on the head of their opponents by breaking from the start. It was without counting on the resilience of the Argentines who immediately resume the lost serve game, to take the lead. Thanks to a golden point at the end of the set, Stupa and Guti were able to seize the opportunity and equalize with a set everywhere .

The start of the third set was once again hotly contested, but the Argentines were able to raise their level of play even further to gain the upper hand over Paquito and Lima. They ultimately win on the final score of 5/7 6/3 6/2.

Franco Stupaczuk: “We are working for this. But I still missed a bit too much today. We struggled to adapt but in the end we achieved the goal. We are very happy."

Sanyo Gutierrez: “We knew how to suffer in difficult times.”

The Argentines therefore qualify for a third consecutive final. They will face the winners of the duel tomorrow Sanchez / Di Nenno - Galan / Lebron. To be continued around 17:30 p.m.
