Uggh that Swiss backdrop is gorgeous. Someday I hope to make a trip to this Gstaad event, financially doable (along with Hamburg, Vienna, etc. etc.).

The YouTube stream of Joana/Anouk vs Canada on court 1 was terrific with multiple cameras and replays. But now the next match on court 1, also featuring a Swiss team, has just the single fixed baseline camera.
Maybe some local station has broadcast rights for this match only? You can even see one of the good cameras being operated, but just not used for the YouTube stream. So frustrating.

Taliqua probably has the best jump spin serve in the women’s game but for some reason she isn’t using it at all this match.
Edit: As soon as I posted this she broke out the topspin jumper and served it wide.

The last time we saw Australia they won Cancun 3, beating the A Team and Agatha/Duda in the medal rounds. They don’t look anything like that team today. Very sloppy and unimpressive.

Huberli/Betschart into the semifinals. Into the quarterfinals. Oops. Got ahead of myself there. Fixed.

QF Brazil vs Switzerland was a great one. Also, keep wondering how a team of Heidrich / Betschart would perform - both playing at their peak could easily put them in the top 5 of the world.

If Brazil wins against MHPavs, it could potentially be a Brazilian podium sweep. MHPavs have set point right now in Set 1. 23-22

Wow didn’t know there’s Hawkeye system here. In/out referee challenge saves set point for the Brazilians after the wrong call by the line judge.

Gstaad usually has the challenge system but it’s only on stadium court lol Pavan had a few words with the ref after Brazil called the challenge on Set point.

Btw, why do only the Swiss matches get the full fancy multiple HD camera production while they mail it in with this crappy static first generation GoPro camera feed for the other matches?

Hopefully the players remember to use it in the Olympics as needed. It’s been a while since they used it.

Definitely not one of Mel’s better attacking matches. This Brazilian duo is giving her all sorts of trouble with their incredible defence and even lots of Carol blocks.
