Ross playing like the best player in the world right now. She still had some mistakes (hitting the ball into the net).

They are but thats improving too. Their last 5, including the one AVP, is a much better stretch than anything they did last year. 3 wins, and going out late to good teams (Ana/Rebecca and Australia) is pretty good. Also most of the other top contenders are flawed even when playing well. Both Canadian defenders and Mariafe give up a lot of points, as does Rebecca. Duda/Agatha really struggle to score and Barbara/Fernanda seem like a partnership in trouble. The Czechs I guess are a little different but other than them, April/Alix seem to have the fewest weaknesses as well as the most fixable weaknesses of the top teams. Barbara/Fernanda definitely on the struggle bus. This year they’ve placed 25th, 9th, and 5th. Last year they played 7 events, resulting in two golds, one silver, two 5ths, and a 9th. I think Agatha/Duda and Carol/Maria are also struggling a little, but not as much as B/F. Sorta feel bad for Duda. She is wasted on this team. The brazie Ladies need to switch it up.

Oh, and yes she is playing like the best player in the world currently. I am as surprised as you with the designation. Happened a couple of weeks ago. Must be the 15 years and not the number or quality of posts. Ross is really surprising me with her great play. I am happy for some good USC news these days.

I am happy for some good USC news these days. I’m happy she is playing so well. I think the last 2-3 years have been stressful on her as well as others. It can’t be easy to start over with a new partner after coming off two amazing Olympic runs. I think her ability to stay healthy has really attributed to her stellar play.

April has always been in shape, but she looks a bit leaner to me this year.

At the tournament, host Brazil failed to advance either a men’s or women’s team to the semifinals for the first time ever on home sand since the start of international beach volleyball competition in 1987 and spanning 46 men's and 41 women's events in the South American country.

Ross playing like the best player in the world right now. For some reason I had originally read your post as "Ross playing WITH the best player in the world right now". To which I was going to respond, "do they have singles now?" But I agree with you. Many others close if you don't count her serve, but with her serve, she separates herself. Too bad her partner was injured in the last Olympics. And YET... given another year, and somebody teaching her how to block, I think Alix might be the biggest difference maker in the game. A quicker, more powerful Pavan.
