This is an important tournament for us as we need to post another good finish on the World Tour.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>After losing country quota matches at the end of May and in mid-June at FIVB World Tour events in the Czech Republic and Poland, Guto and Saymon bounced back with a fifth place two weeks ago in Switzerland and a ninth-place finish last week in Portugal.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Playing and losing in the country quota rounds is tough,&#8221; Guto added.\u00a0 &#8220;Since we missed playing in the World Championships, we had some time off to work on our game. So far, the practice time has helped us. Now, we need to reach the semifinals to help us avoid playing in future country quotas.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Guto and Saymon joined Frenchmen Quincy Aye\/Arnaud Gauthier-Rat as qualifying teams that won two matches Thursday to gain leadership in their pools. The French pair posted two upset wins Thursday over higher-seeded teams from Brazil and Qatar.<\/p>\n<p>The Tokyo Open continues through Sunday when the gold medal men&#8217;s and women&#8217;s teams will capture the $20,000 first-place prizes.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-44576\" src=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/2-68.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"978\" height=\"658\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/2-68.jpg 978w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/2-68-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/2-68-768x517.jpg 768w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/2-68-600x404.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 978px) 100vw, 978px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Related links of AVC<br \/>\nAVC Website: click www.asianvolleyball.net<br \/>\nAVC Facebook: click www.Facebook.com\/AsianVolleyballConfederation<br \/>\nAVC Twitter: click: https:\/\/twitter.com\/avcvolley<br \/>\nAVC Instagram: click: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/avcvolley\/?hl=en<br \/>\nAVC Youtube: click: Asian Volleyball Confederation<br \/>\nAVC WeChat: Asian Volleyball Confederation<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tokyo, Japan, July 25, 2019 &#8211;
