This tourney gonna be LIT as they say! Look at all the new pairings, Lorenz/Zaun, Ed/Priddy, Loomis/McKibbin not to mention the qualifier. That thing is going to be brutal as Santos/Schalk are back at it with a better seed this time at least. Damn, wanna fly to SEA for this.

One other note of interest, Burik isn't playing, lost first match in qualifier and partner Boag with another dude. If not an injury, Burik's down attitude on court likely leading to no interest because guy has some talent.

Pavan is putting in a LOT of travel and match time. Qualifiers in New York, to FIVB in the Hague, and qualifiers in Seattle all in 2 weeks.
I'm sure there are others doing the same but that has to take a toll on the body over the summer.

So is April Ross out with the broken toe that was reported? Any word on how long she will be unable to play?

Day/Hochevar are skipping the event, They have a CQ match against Kerri/Nicole for the 5 star Porec major. Probably the right move, but they would pretty much be a finalist at worst here.
Any fallout if Day/Hochevar win???
Flint and Larsen are registered for this AND the FIVB 2 star in China this weekend. Where they just won the previous stop on Sunday. This could cause the seeding to slip 1 if they stay in China. Dowdy/Pollock are also on the China list (not reg. for AVP).

It sucks that April is out. Is Nick still going? I'd say Larsen/Flint would have a good shot at winning either Seattle or China (where Juliana is the only one I would favor by a lot over her) but thats a hell of a trip for a 50k payout when there is a 75k event a 90 minute plane ride away. I wish Flint/Larsen would break up. I'd love to see Larsen split block with Kerri, or try to find some other defender - pickings are slim out there. |

Does anyone really expect Kerri & Nicole to beat Day & Britt in the CQ in Porec? I certainly don't. Kerri hasn't played competitively in months and Nicole couldn't even get out of the qualifier with a very good Chinese partner in Huntington. I really believe that This is a throw away year competitive wise for Kerri. She needs to play some for sponsorship deals & to keep this sport & her brand in somewhat of a spotlight. Nicole is just along for the free ride. I'm not trying to sound mean or anything, I'm just hoping all these Kerri fans are not getting their hopes up for what most likely be a 2017 flop competition wise. |

I'm not a Kerri fan but I think she bears them. She's just really good and I saw her a few weeks back and she was in crazy good shape!!

I def. see from recent pics out there on Social Media that she might just be in the best shape of her life. All I'm saying is practicing in Manhatten beach for the last few months against college girls is much different than competing on the world stage with a partner that hasn't played internationally since 2012? Not sure the exact year, but I think I'm close. I'm just glad she's jumping back into the waters again. The sharks are waiting though... |
