In a FIP Gold setting, Nunes/Sans project as the more structured pair, likely with clearer role definition and better control in long, windy Atlantic-style rallies typical of Ponta Delgada. Lopez/Gonzalez San Martin can compete by speeding up exchanges and forcing volatility, but they’ll need sustained first-volley quality to avoid being dragged into defense. Slight edge to Nunes/Sans in tight sets due to steadier decision-making and transition efficiency.
