The title decision will be this Sunday (20), at a time yet to be defined. Soares and Murray will face the winners of the other semifinal, between Mexican Santiago Gonzalez and Argentine Andres Molteni against Italians Lorenzo Sonego and Andrea Vavassori.
This will be the third time in the eight editions of the tournament that there will be a representative of Brazil in the doubles decisions. The country already has three runners-up: Rogério Silva and Thomaz Bellucci, who played together in 2019, and Marcelo Melo in the 2014 edition.
