Schwärzler/Bondioli, who had previously defeated the top-seeded pairing of Yaroslav Demin and Rodrigo Pacheco Mendez in the semifinals on Saturday (local time), found two match points in the all-important match tiebreak at 9:7. Thanks to four point wins en suite, Dahlin/Ojakaar were finally able to celebrate the title.
