In the play-off for third-place, Mohammed Gaith and Marianna Muursepp defeated Arsalan Iqbal and Lyn Barrie 7-6, 7-5 to claim the bronze medals.
In the preliminary rounds, teams competed in short matches against all other teams. At the end of the group stage the top four teams progressed to the semi-finals.
The one-day event, which specifically targets new and recreational players, was played with a slightly slower ball to give players more time to react.
