Bondioli F. defeated Fuele M. 6-2, 6-4 in the Cordenons, Italy Men Singles. The decisive factor was Bondioli's superior return game — he converted two of two break points in the first set and never faced a break point himself, then repeated the pattern in the second set with a crucial late break.

The second set saw more resistance — Bondioli broke at 0-1, but Fuele broke back immediately at 2-2. The turning point came at 4-5, when Bondioli broke again to close out the match.
