In this way they went to the semifinal against the Brazil A team, where the Puerto Ricans defeated Felipe Ocano and Vinicius Rech 3-0.  In the final series they beat Colombia A, Enrique began by dominating Juan Garzón 3-0 with runs of 11-7, 11-4 and 11-5.  Then Steven won 3-1 against Emanuel Otálvaro with scores of 10-12, 11-8, 11-9 and 11-2 and in the doubles match to define the Championship Enrique and Steven beat Juan and Emanuel 11-9, 12-10 and 11-6.
