NED: Dijkema 2, Sloetjes 8, Buijs 9, Meijners 13, De Kruijf 13, Belien 7, Schoot L; Bongaerts 5, Plak 8, Daalderop 11, Balkestein 9, Jasper 1, Koolhaas 8, Lohuis 3, Knip L.
Looks like Germany used the match to make the starting six play together as much as possible whereas the Dutch again rotated a lot. Orthmann only 6 pts in 5 sets worries me a lot
Judging from the line-up today and two days ago, probably Ambrosius and Vanjak will be cut from German roster, though personally I think Vanjak can be more useful than Stigrot.
Good that the Ducth team won all their matches. That should give them some convidence!
Another good thing is that Plak is back. Although she isn't in her best form, she showed multiple times in the NT she can change the match when she comes from the bench. Sloëtjes doesn't look that convincing
When Sloëtjes as opposite doesn't work and the reception with Meijners - Buijs is a bit shaky, I wouldn't mind seeing Balkestein-Grothues as receiving opposite. She can help out in serve receive and as a lefty, hitting from the right side could be more effective. Her stats look good BTW in the last matches. De Kruijf again proving she is the most consistent player
Looking at the stats, probably Lohuis or Jasper will get cut as expected. Lohuis not scoring a lot of points. Giving the fact that Plak played as opposite and both Daalderop and Balkestein-Grothues scored a lot of points, Jasper possible only came on court as serve substitution.
