Misty and Brit get the 5th I predicted assuming they dont win again, and given how Misty looks, they shouldn't. I was never a huge Misty fan and a lot of this was Britney playing great, but nice to see a cagey older woman take apart two youngsters.
On the other side Summer/Lane played awful, stupid volleyball. They've been on tour a combined 5 years and neither seems to know a lick of strategy. Misty can barely move, how about a deep serve now and then, maybe force her to move some? Maybe serve her partner tough and exploit her speed that way.
Up 6-4, they were outscored 10-3 and most of that was dumb errors, poor blocking form, and general sloppy play.

Its admirable how Misty is playing solid and consistent within her new physical limits, but not getting frustrated or losing focus. Should show Summer and Lane a little about the attitude a pro needs

Carico/Ross were absolutely terribly serving and blocking, really let Misty off the hook. Carico couldn't side out at all...you'd think she would have gone offspeed more to try and make Misty move but she just hit a bunch of balls out. Ross should bump set if she is going to get hands called like that.

Looks to me like Brit might have benefited a little from some coaching/training with Misty as well as Butch. Despite being physically limited, Misty can still pass nails and put the ball away against any block as long as the set is good...those shots to the back left corner have to be maddening to play against. Her setting is obvious and she has to be one of the smartest players ever.

I'm genuinely curious why you were "never a huge Misty fan"? Over-rated talent-wise, attitude, character, off-the court behavior?

The "best sideout player in the world" thing that commentators used to push annoyed me and was obviously false (since she got served all the time). I found a lot of the interviews she and Kerri used to give very fake, but most of all I was, and am, a huge Elaine Youngs fan.

I don't think it's anything to get sensitive about. I'm not a huge Kerri Walsh fan for similiar reasons, I just get tired of seeing her all over the place in volleyball marketing. But she's earned it.

Beach volleyball is in desperate need of a new face. Its great KW wants to go get a 4th, so would I. However there has to be a transition to a younger crowd. Little VB girls might look up to K & M for inspiration within the sport, but there not looking at them saying I want to wear that outfit, make-up or bathing suit. Let alone buy something from them. Sports is marketing to mass media and VB is in the tank right now on that topic, imho.
