The Polish duo, who are making their fourth appearance at the season finale, capitalised to break serve in the sixth game and clinch a one-set lead punishing Dlouhy for two double faults. Neither team was able to break through in the second set, and Fyrstenberg and Matkowski clinched victory in the deciding tie-break in 76 minutes.
Fyrstenberg and Matkowski, arrived in London in fine form and improved to a 36-27 match record in the season.
