Pineto was defeated but only surrendered at the tie-break, it could even have won it. Still, after dominating the first two sets, it was greatly disappointing for the hosts not to have found a way to clinch victory. The knowledgeable supporters applauded them anyway at the end of the game, as Pineto proved it will be able to play face to face with anyone this season.
