Once again, Leonardo Nahar had the match decider. With the team score tied at 3-3, Nahar outlasted Kaue Pereira 7-6 (4), 0-6, 7-6 (4) at No. 5 singles to clinch the deciding point for the Ospreys.

Julien Belair and Beauregard Treyz dropped a 9-7 No. 2 doubles match to Michael Reilly and Sam Williams. Moritz Buerchner and Pedro Davisson fell to Rafael Aita and Pedro Mol 9-8 (4).
