Home players Ondřej Perušic and Jiří Sedlák are not a top-ranked duo, according to the world rankings. But they still gave the world number two pair from Sweden, David Åhman and Jonatan Hellvig, cause for concern.

However, the Swedes are thriving in Ostrava, the Czech Republic's fourth-largest city. Despite some difficult moments, the Swedish duo handled every challenge they faced and secured another victory in Ostrava.

"This is an incredible tournament, we love playing here and the fans are fantastic. We didn't have their support in this match, but they usually support us," said Åhman on SVT.

Their compatriots Jacob Hölting Nilsson and Elmer Andersson reached the round of 16 but lost there to Cherif Younousse and Ahmed Tijan of Qatar.
