The pair of Huey and Kontinen won a sudden-death point on a Klaasen and Ram serve at 4-5, 40/40. Their top seeded opponents broke their serve in the previous game and were a shot away from getting the first set.
But the Filipino and Finnish players broke back to take the opening set. The pair then ran out to a 5-2 lead in the following set, before coasting to the victory.
