However, it was not to be as Richard Mallory went down in straight sets against Maykol Ponte Suarez 6-3, 6-0, before Tariq Simons fared slightly better, losing 6-1, 6-3 to Osmel Rivera Granja.

Gavin Manders and Neal Towlson them teamed up in the doubles, suffering a 6-4, 6-3 defeat against Yoan Perez and Rivera Granja

Bermuda finished fifth in Pool B after five defeats and one win from their five round-robin encounters.
