The German-Spanish clash ended with Germany’s Andre BERTELSMEIER and Wim VERDONSCHOT beating Francesc CARRERA and Francesc KHIDASHELI.

An upset occurred when Bosnia and Herzegovina’s Benjamin ZIJADIC and Serbia’s Andras OROS seeded 61st defeated Hungary’s 10th seeds David SZANTOSI and Botond ZOLTAN VARGA in four games.

In the Junior Girls’ doubles Germany’s Mia GRIESEL and Romania’s Bianca MEI ROSU the top seeds easily defeated Scotland’s Shannon BROWN and Ireland’s Anjali SINGH. No. 2 seeds Zuzanna WIELGOS and Anna BRZYSKA overcame Serbia’s Jana HAVELA and Teodora GOJKOV 3-1. French pair Clea DE STOPPELEIRE and Agathe AVEZOU seeded third progressed in straight games against Slovenia’s Lana SLATINSEK and Ema CRNKOVIČ.
