In the following game, at 40-0 in their favour, the Azzurri made a comeback by even conceding the set point which was immediately exploited by Arévalo and Pavic, who took home the first set.
The Emilian and the Piedmontese were not discouraged and at 1-1, in the second set, they found the first break of their match. Their opponents, however, responded immediately and evened the score on the opponent’s turn of serve. The match thus returns to balance, but at 4-3 it is Arévalo and Pavic who find a decisive break built thanks to two phenomenal returns from the Central American on two first serves from Vavassori. The match then ends at 6-3.
