about andreia: i only saw parts of the BRA-CHN match, and i thought she is very interesting, an OPP that mostly attacks with the backslide. can she hit a high ball like an OH?
-
What is going on?
-
Tandara has injuried...i hope not that serious...
-
Tandara
First I thought it was knee, but I guess it's the ankle. Didn't look good unfortunately.
-
Tandara landed on Shcherban's foot after an attack, it looked quite painful
-
Adenizia : what an unlimited energy she has...cheering all the time after every point..
-
it comes as strange to me that how a mature stance Gabriella has on the court at this young age..

Yes she can.. she has played as OH and as MB too

Mental collapse is unfortunately the more likely scenario after losing the 3rd set in such a way(( Young team just couldn't handle the pressure of opportunity
Looks like you're right...I think Malykh should have returned towards the end of the set, I hope she'll at least play in 5th because Russia's chances are still alive. If they lose, they'll be out of semis.
-
seems Brazil will win if Russia cant get back to her game in first two sets..
-
Doesnt Brazilian Gabrielle look taller than 176 cm?
-
Pankova's setting to the middles has changed the rhythm of the match in a soon..
-
Kosianenko (Pankova) on serve and Russia is back on track
-
Russia with 3-2, Montreux this year is such a thrilling competition
Many players with nice performances in start of NT season -
Malykh is injured?
-
Who's number 1! Win ..... Nice Kutyukova and the whole team................Малова

This edition MVM is much better than last year... In every days we can watch really great matches
BTW. If Russia won 3-0 with Switzerland it will be very tight in group!
Russia 6 points, 8-5 sets
China 6 points, 8-5 sets
Brazil 6 points, 8-5 sets -
So my scenario comes true, if Russia wins 3:0 vs Switzerland it all comes down to the ball points ratio.
China has a better ball points ratio than Brazil (1.12 vs 1.08 if my calculation is correct), so the 2nd semi place will be decided between Brazil and Russia. I think Russia needs to beat Switzerland with about 20 points difference to move ahead of Brazil...

Nice if drawn out win. All down to tomorrow for Russia. Result rests on maths.
