The Cavaliers were quite competitive in a few of the matches and forced tiebreakers in three pairings. The first came at third doubles where Filipp Kulynych and Guilherme Carneiro fell 9-8 with a 7-4 tiebreaker.

Carneiro also saw a tiebreaker in his sixth singles contest against Luka Veselic. Carneiro fell 7-6 with a 7-3 tiebreaker in the first set, but came back to win the second 6-1. In the third set tiebreaker, Carneiro was close to pulling off the win, but fell 11-9.
