Portugal's Nuno Borges and Francisco Cabral won the Estoril doubles title after beating Maximo Gonzalez and Andre Goransson in the final. Borges and Cabral, who were unseeded in their first ATP tournament, overcame Gonzalez and Goransson in straight sets 6-2 6-3.
Both teams firmly held on to their serve through the first four games as the two teams were at two games apiece after the opening four games. Then, Borges and Cabral broke Gonzalez and Goransson in the sixth and eighth games to win four games in a row and claim the first set.
After winning the first set, Borges and Cabral made a good start to the second set as they broke Gonzalez and Goransson in the fourth game to take a 3-1 lead. Borges and Cabral had a chance to go up by a double break but they missed out on two break points in the sixth game.
However, blowing two break points didn't impact Borges and Cabral as the break they earned in the fourth game was enough for them to seal a straight-set win.
