In the men’s event, Brazilian Andre Baran and Italian Michele Cappelletti defeated the French-Italian team of Nicolas Gianotti and Mattia Spoto 6-2, 2-6, 10-6 to claim the title. This victory earned Italy an additional 50 points, further solidifying their position in the Tennis Europe beach rankings.
