The match was decided by the Russian's main hit point, from which the Finns picked up the Video Replay card in vain, the video referee saw the hit. After the match, Kuznetsov came to tell Teemu that he didn't think he hit, and therefore didn't earn any points either.

Kuznetsov is the reigning winner of the Spanish Open.
