Due to rain tampering with the schedule of the day, the match was pushed back to 4 p.m. Another two-hour rain delay caused it to be pushed back even further and resulted in the teams just playing singles rather than doubles to speed things up a bit.

Hernan Toledo (Santiago, Chile) put up a fight against Matthew Jones and took it to three sets at No. 2.

At No. 3 singles, Rintaro Oka (Narita, Japan) was defeated by Josep Canyadell 6-1, 6-2 and Marc Bantel (Urbach, Germany) fell to Roy Stepanov 6-1, 6-3 at No. 4.
