Fearless forecast: Zhu will find her way to the bench.

Damn! That's 22 years of domination.
I really thought Federer will have longer longevity because the other 2 play rough but it was Nole lasted longer. I have a feeling that OG was his last major win.

VNL is not that important but very beneficial to get some reps. In the first few editions of VNL, USWNT used it to prepare for their core team changing line ups every other match and still winning. When Tokyo came, they were very prepared and can interchange any player in their roster and still get the desired result. This helped them win the gold at the Olympics.
I understand that some top teams and players opt to skip this because of the long professional season but for NT purposes, this can actually help the team to see their weaknesses and improve it later on as well as experiment with starting line up that actually works.

She was great throughout the event - Italy would crush Brazil as well - and team USA not getting any award as a silver medalist would be weird.
It will be weird if the silver medalist doesn't have an individual award. She did great the whole tournament except for this final game. I think it's just fair.
Finally Italy won a medal and gold at that. They created a team chemistry that was lacking for how many years. I will give Orro the credit for this win. If she was playing just like last year, Italy would be in limbo. She learned to set each player their preferred ball speed and height. They will be dangerous for the next quad.
USA as host next Olympics will still be a contender. I know Karch will stick around and will continue doing their brand of fast plays. I hope the girls will be able to perfect this type of play like what they Tokyo girls did.

sorry i to say this. USA was just LUCKY! They didn't play Italy, chn,serbia or even turkey in QF/SF. Lol
A team in this tournament will not have luck in such a competitive environment. Italy is just too strong for any team. No team stand a chance against them. Every position they are above any team. Setting position was the only missing link and Orro showed up this whole summer.

This is over.
Not the best way to end an Olympic match.
-
Plummer has checked out.
-
Orro has been the xfactor.
-
Carlini is really needed. Poulter is super inconsistent.
-
If Skinner is going to improve her reception she will be a top OH.
-
Yeah, I feel that she's weaker with each month or tournament
she’s downhill since winning gold in Tokyo.
-
Carlini needs to be put in.
-
Plummer setting WAY better than Nyeme is something lol
she was originally recruited in Stanford as setter
-
That was a dodgy call.
-
Like I said IG back when Steven had his IG before fans bombarded his account with hate after being guilty of rape. There were photos of them at events.
That doesn't prove anything 😏
-
Kentaro Takahashi seemed to injure his neck and was move out of the court on a stretcher.
-
Fornal really showed up this VNL. He deserves the spot.
-
No!!!!
She should play first in Europe as a pro though I do understand that she wants to start a family. She would be perfect for Conegliano.
-
Dominicanas concern me with their kind of play as of late. I feel like they rested in their laurels once they qualified in Olys.
USA girls as expected have very poor reception.

Someone is still butthurt.
