I feel like this board is pretty low on Pavan/MHP and I’m not sure why. What American pairings are definitively better than that squad? They have been a little off their game this year, but still better than any American team right now. Would love to see them play April/Alix again

Their last two finishes are below what they would want their standards are but with that being said it was a 9th and a 4th and both were 4 star events. I would not put any American duo ahead of them currently. Ateam is probably closest.

By the way, if MHP and SP make it through, since they would be the 13th seed, meaning they would play Emily Day and Betsi Flint, who are the 4th seed in the main draw?

Pavan posted earlier that they found out last night they are approved to play. Not sure who they were getting approval from, but they took a 6am flight to New York this morning to be able to play today.

Weird. I don't know why the avp would have them listed as players for this tournament without actually knowing if they will be able to play or not.
From Sarah's Twitter.... "Got confirmation less than 12 hours ago that we are allowed to play in #AVPNYC. That means jumping on a 6 am flight to play in the qualifier.... today 😳🙃 We are always up for a challenge.... time to rise and grind 💪🏻👊🏻"

Umm what... they were listed as #1 on the qualifiers.
Why are they listed if they’re not allowed to play. How weird.
At least they don’t have to play first game in the qualifiers since they’re the first seed.

Are we sure it was AVP permission they needed? Maybe FIVB or Canada? Either way its so much more interesting with them in it

Interesting upset.... Haley Hallgren / Sammy Slater (Q36) def. Bre Moreland / Allie Wheeler (Q4) 21-15, 21-18 (0:40) .. Sammy Slater is on USC's 2s and Haley on 4s. Allie graduated from USC last year.

Melissa Humana-Paredes / Sarah Pavan (Q1) lose to Cassie House / Molly Turner (Q17) ... watch some of it via FB live stream.. Pavan looked pretty lethargic... she was blocked at least 3-4 times in the last set.

Yes.. BVB has not updated in a while and I assumed it was their 3rd round match. Either way.. big upset.

I know Sarah Pavan failed to make it through a qualifier last summer on the AVP but does anyone think she will have a similar result tomorrow with MHP? I have to think they will make it through and I would not want to be the main draw team that gets to play them. Welp this didn't age well 🤦♂️🤔
