However they put that form aside to take down the fourth and fifth seeds to advance to what will be just the second Futures main draw for each player.<\/p>\n<p>Other Australian teams to make it through qualifying were Rob Reeves and Declan Tiso whose only other Futures main draw appearance came last year in Montpellier, along with Ky Landers and Matt Abela who are playing their first-ever Futures tournament together.<\/p>\n<p>American duo Benjamin Vaught and Kevin Coyle were the fourth team to make it into the main draw, coming from a set down to defeat Australians Garang Anyang and Justin Schumann.<\/p>\n<p>The story wasn\u2019t as bright for Australia\u2019s women\u2019s teams. Six pairs were whittled down to three in the preliminary phase, before the remaining three were eliminated by American and Japanese opponents in the second round.<\/p>\n<p>Wednesday\u2019s results saw seven men\u2019s and four Australian women\u2019s teams in the main draw which starts Thursday, along with pairs from Thailand, England, Japan, Germany, Israel, Canada, Vanuatu and the USA.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Thursday\u2019s action starts with the first men\u2019s pool matches from 10am AEDT while the women\u2019s main draw gets underway at 2pm AEDT.<\/p>\n<p>QUICK LINKS<\/p>\n<p>AVC Website: click <a href=\"http:\/\/www.asianvolleyball.net\/\">www.asianvolleyball.net<\/a><\/p>\n<p>AVC Facebook: click <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AsianVolleyballConfederation\">www.Facebook.com\/AsianVolleyballConfederation<\/a><\/p>\n<p>AVC Twitter: click: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/AsianVolleyball\">www.twitter.com\/AsianVolleyball<\/a><\/p>\n<p>AVC Instagram: click: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/avcvolley\/?hl=en\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/avcvolley\/?hl=en<\/a><\/p>\n<p>AVC Youtube: click: Asian Volleyball Confederation<\/p>\n<p>AVC WeChat: Asian Volleyball Confederation<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Credit: volleyball.org.au The international beach volleyball season kicked off in Mollymook on the NSW south coast Wednesday with the opening day of the Beach Pro Tour Futures event.
