A surprise result in Men's Doubles at the 2015 Pan American Games, as Costa Ricans Felipe Camacho and Teobaldo Fumero - the runner-up team from this year's Pan American Championships - are out in the Round of 16, losing to Ramon De Leon and Luis Perez from the Dominican Republic, 0-15, 15-14, 11-8.
