They responded by winning the next three games, then traded wins with Eala and Lys to put the score at 4-2. Despite dropping the next game at love, Gleason and Martins recovered and secured the set with deuce wins in game 8 and 10. A set marked by constant back-and-forths, Gleason and Martins looked ready to continue their rhythm entering the second set.
Set two
In similar fashion to the previous set, the two teams traded games to open. Gleason and Martins kept their opponents at love to close out the second round of the set, putting the score at 1-1.
They would go on to carry that momentum for the rest of the match, as Gleason and Martins won the next four games in a row, giving them a comfortable 5-1 lead. Although they dropped game seven after a forehand unforced error, they would dominate the final game and win with their opponents at love to close out the match.

Former Georgia star WR Ladd McConkey ranked among NFL's best players
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey burst onto the scene in his rookie 2024 season, earning the No. 100 spot on this year's 100-best NFL players list. A second-round pick out of the University of Georgia, McConkey immediately proved his worth, leading the team with 1,149 receiving yards. McConkey is a playmaker that excelled at being the primary option to Chargers star quarterback Justin Herbert. McConkey had broke Kennan Allen's rookie receptions record with 82 receptions of his own this past season. He also broke the NFL rookie playoff record for receiving yards with 197 in a loss against the Houston Texans. "I mean, he's going to be a future All-Pro." Said Chargers safety Derwin James. "I feel like he's one of the best receivers in this league for sure." The young Georgia product is poised for a fantastic NFL career and could easily climb higher on future rankings after his sophomore season in 2025. McConkey is the Chargers' No. 1 option in their passing attack and showcased the ability to generate separation and yards after the catch as a rookie.
