With the outcome of the match decided, Julien Bodin (Cartagena, Spain, Las Salinas) defeated Tyler Calhoun, 8-3, at the No. 2 spot and Daan Coppelmans (Waalre, The Netherlands, Sint-Joriscollege Eindhoven) and Leandro Neix Bazzanini (Itapetininga, Brazil, Colegio Objectivo) scored 8-0 victories at No. 5 and No. 6 singles.
