First set

The set began with the Brazilians in the lead, scoring in the first game. They then tied the game and then the Chinese duo came back. The games made the pairs more balanced and put more pressure on their opponents in search of an advantage, but the biggest difference in score only occurred in the tenth set, when the Brazilians won the game and closed the set at 6 to 4.

Second set

The Chinese tennis duo started with a two-game deficit, trying to maintain the consistency of the first set to even things up and achieve a draw, but it was not possible. Whenever the Chinese scored, the Brazilians were ahead, which meant that the set ended with the same score as the first, 6-4, without the need for a third set.
