Merino Nieto/Fernandez Sanchez should enter as the more structured Spanish pair, typically stronger in defending and building points with controlled bandejas/víboras. Roper/Släryd are likely more direct and pace-driven, which can pay off in quick Hoganas conditions but also spikes error-rate under pressure. Prediction: Merino/Fernandez in 2 tight sets if they win the backhand-corner battles and slow the tempo.
