Stanton set the tone early by securing the doubles point. While Oleksandr Kolesnychenko and Lemiel Kei fell in a tight 5–7 battle, the Elks responded with two decisive sets. Egor Pishchelev and Matthias Bigot pulled out a 7–5 win, while Yohann Molle and Achille Scattolin cruised to a 6–1 victory to give Stanton the early lead.

Singles Grit

Singles play was a test of endurance, with three matches pushed to a third set. Oleksandr Kolesnychenko rallied from a set down to win 4–6, 6–3, 6–1, a feat mirrored by Yohann Molle (6–2, 4–6, 6–4) and Matthias Bigot (2–6, 6–2, 7–5). Achille Scattolin provided a straight-set boost with a 6–4, 6–3 win.

Despite hard-fought losses from Sebastian Koster (6–2, 2–6, 4–6) and Jasper Voss (3–6, 1–6), the Elks' depth across the board was enough to seal the team triumph and reignite their season.
