Rufo/Castelló should enter as the more established pair on paper, with Castelló’s experience and pace likely giving them control in longer exchanges. Virseda/Guinart can make it close by slowing the tempo and targeting the less stable lane, but over a full match the favorite profile is Rufo/Castelló in tight sets. Expect a tactical battle around who owns the right-side/middle and who wins the lob-to-net cycles in Albania’s typically lively, sea-level conditions.
