Why are all the players on the vbl live score called 'test athlete'
I have no idea who's who
There are no live stats anyway, that test athlete thing is complete rubbish

agreed, great first set
if only the middles would get more balls
Van De Vyver at least tried it, but Van Aalen today looks quite nervous
I think Segura attacked more balls in 1st set than usually in a full match
Stiriz in as defense libero now, Jegdic clearly isn't fully healthy and can't move as usual in defense.
I want to see 5 sets on this level
and more of this slowmotion camera
Really good fight so far! Stuttgart clearly tries to play with more variety and Potsdam is reeeeeaaaaally motivated
Why didn’t they bring Cansu back?
No substitutions left. Meryem in-out, Buket in-out already were 4 subs.
Shut up Guidetti, Derya clearly was in the wrong position there!
Both teams with full line-up (except for Bokan) and the usual starters. Jegdic seems to be warming up normally so I guess she can play again
Sina Stöckmann played for Neuwied next Season
Good decision for everyone I think
Stream for 5th match today, 20.00 CET (free but registration required)
The logical result would be Stuttgart winning abroad again, but maybe Potsdam can indeed break the streak and complete the sensation. I think Stuttgart is (once again) mentally not stable in the most important matches, on paper they should be clearly better than Potsdam and as we saw in match 2 and parts of match 3, when Stuttgart play their real game they are indeed better, but as soon as Potsdam gets in their heads it's a different game.
Stuttgart - Potsdam 2:3 (15:25 25:14 21:25 25:22 9:15)

MVP: Krystal Rivers / Laura Emonts
4th match on Friday 20:00 CET, Potsdam can complete the sensation to win championship then...
Well, I didn't expect that Surprisingly, Jasper and Nowicka did an amazing job when they came in, but it was too late. Rivers and Lee were invisible when it really mattered today, Rivers was 1/7 and Lee 1/6 in tie-break
For Potsdam, Sarah Stiriz was incredibly important today! In the beginning Stuttgart targeted her with serves but she didn't show any vulnerability, so they had to change their strategy. She also had some really good digs and replaced Jegdic in the best possible way
What a meltdown
Rivers plays like Egonu right now, and that isn't meant as a compliment
3rd and 4th set have been much more entertaining, and I think whoever wins tie-break (I guess Stuttgart...) will also win the 4th match.
Alex Waibl is definitely interesting to listen to, very analytical and he hasn't said one bad word about any player and seems particularly fond of Cekulaev and Segura.
I think Van Aalen should use the middles more when she has the chance, both Savic and Cekulaev are strong attackers but they can barely show it today.
Stiriz Scoring with defense
At some point I want a set where both teams are playing well and not one team is dominating the other one
after watching the men's final series this is not exiting to watch at all
I agree. Both teams are quite good at making the other team look bad, so whoever does this better dominates the set/match. Stuttgart plays so boring, but when Lee and Rivers play well it's effective.
Potsdam with very good serve-block-defense complex, for Stuttgart Rivers-Lee-ball isn't working at all so far. I don't know what Van De Vyver is up to, so far she has completely ignored her middles and only used two players in attack, of which one made more errors than points
you’ll have to let us (me) know if there’s any shade or anything interesting lol
So far he's disappointingly quiet and only speaks when the main commentator asks him something
Meanwhile Sarah Stiriz so far does a very good job replacing Jegdic, I hope she can keep the level!
Jegdic is out due to a neck injury, maybe she can recover until Friday.
Alex Waibl is co-commenting the match for Sport1, that should be interesting!
Only Stiriz is designated as L today.
Jegdic is in the roster but with normal shirt, so at least it's not Covid and she doesn't have any visible injury. I hope she'll be back for 4th match.
Also Cekulaev has more and more tapes and bandages around her legs every match
