With the Score in favor of the Danish Team 2-1, Rune, best rack in his country and number 1 ranked throughout the series (by the loss of Carlos Alcaraz), he had everything in favor to seal the classification at the end 8: 5-3 above in the third. After losing a match point, Martínez got an epic comeback, which culminated in the Trebreak, and took everything to the fifth game, which was a Spanish victory in the hands of Pablo Carreño Busta against Elmer Moller in corridos sets.
