Us goes up 19-17 and Australia, on the good side, serves one in the net and one to Kerri, US wins in 2. Great match for Brooke and Kerri. They are beating some very good teams, most of whom are serving Kerri half the time or more.

They are beating some very good teams, most of whom are serving Kerri half the time or more. Because Brooke is siding out really well. They played solid ball. Scored points on serves, blocking and defense. All around good game against a good team

Glad I got up early for this one, wish it had been early enough to see Game 1 too, anyone see it?
Czechs lose and now become the bad bracket draw for a team that won their pool, which otherwise is all the good teams. Laura Ludwig is the other bad draw, but this one going mostly chalk and at least one US team (SS also off 2-0) should get an easy match to make the quarters

Back and forth until like 15/15 and Kerri and Brooke made a few plays at true end.

They are beating some very good teams, most of whom are serving Kerri half the time or more. Because Brooke is siding out really well. They played solid ball. Scored points on serves, blocking and defense. All around good game against a good team She didnt in Game 2, she gave up points or opportunities almost every serve she received. Brooke is generally playing well and siding out better than in the past and Kerri can give up points with poor passing now and then, but serving Kerri when you have a big blocker and a fast defender is just plain dumb. Kerri didnt get 100+ wins by not being able to put balls away. The only time Australia had an advantage in this one they got three in a row off Brooke to go up 2, lost a point serving Kerri, scored off Brooke again, then lost it by not getting the ball to Brooke enough the rest of the match, including missing a couple serves and serving Kerri. KW/BS have now beaten top tier teams in their last 3 events, all in 2 games. Now they just need to get some Sponcil/Claes type luck in the playoff draw

Yeah but there was 2 plays where Kerri didn’t set her well. One was really low and inside. Brooke’s window is a little smaller than most to side out against the greats and Kerri need to hit that window!

Brooke’s window is a little smaller than most to side out against the greats and Kerri need to hit that window! Sure, but thats part of why teams should serve Brooke. Kerri has never been a pinpoint setter and, as you correctly point out, Brooke needs an excellent set and there was heavy wind.

Claes/Sponcil sweep China Looks like they play Betsi in their first elimination game. Big swing possibilities Kerri has a very nice bracket, only Laura could challenge them if they play well. But they probably won't
