Now that's decisive. "How sweet it is".

Hmmmm, I'm kind of rooting for the Russians, actually. I like how that team has developed this quad even overcoming serious injury.

No matter who loses this semifinal, it’ll be a rematch for ATeam in the bronze medal match. And I hope they get redemption tomorrow!

I can’t tell if Germany is playing better or if Russia is just making too many errors? Russia seems to be the ATeams next opponents and what a run it’s been for Germany! I thought they were not going to make it out of pool and here they are in the semifinals after beating Dudatha.

Happy that MHPavs are having a great tournament. I’m still sad that they left the Olympics empty handed. The women’s side of the beach game is so deep and hard to predict, but Im happy that they’re showing a consistent level here in Italy

Russia won the catch-up game and they’re headed to set 3 now.

Russia saves a match point and we’re going to a third set!

Germany wins 15-11. Nadezda made a lot of side out errors, but Svetlana hitting on two from wayyyy off the net didn’t help either. Just a sloppy game from the Russians.

These Russians are a really scary team. Reminds me how huge that upset by the Latvians was at Tokyo.

Actually, I'm not sure what was exactly. Kholomina had a bad landing and injured her knee during the 2019 Euro Championship. They didn't compete in the remainder of the season (WT finals and 4*s). I remember a foto of her being carried out of the field by her partner and rivals, their faces were scary. When covid froze cometition they were still not back. They returned for the 2020 Euros more or less a year later (but with competition frozen who knows when exactly they would have). Since I can't read Russian I don't follow then as closely as other teams.
Back on topic, deserved win by the Germans, they had quite a good day today. I did't watch all the match agaist Brazil because the stream was stuttering and desync. Sude had some nice blocks and Borger was quite solid all around. Sude said in the interview that not even them expected to make the final, still both players have some quality wins under their belts (but not as a team).

MHPavs have had a disappointing season by their standards, but whatever happens in the final, they have locked up the top of the money list for a second consecutive season - unless you count 2020, which no one should.
