Taking a lead into singles play, Union won four of the individual matches to secure the victory. Gatto moved the Dutchwomen another point closer with a 6-1, 6-0 win over Hanulikova at third singles, as did Nicol when she came back from a set down to outlast Schoeck in a supertiebreaker, 3-6, 6-1, 10-4.

The Dutchwomen then secured the victory by winning three of the first four singles contests. Nicol earned her second singles win of the day with a pair of 6-2 sets at first singles, and Gatto moved Union to the brink of victory with a 6-0, 6-2 third-singles win. Karadimou clinched the win in impressive fashion, coming back from a set down to defeat Ella Swan, 1-6, 6-3, 10-4, in a second-singles supertiebreaker.
