I still don\u2019t believe it and now we will think about tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is never easy against this team, they played so well. It is always a fight against them and today we were the winners.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Joining them in the quarterfinals are Taylor Crabb and Jacob Gibb who are one of two USA teams, along with Nick Lucena and Phil Dalhausser, to progress.<\/p>\n<p>They picked up where they left off on the World Tour having won gold at the Chetumal 4-Star in November 2019, and beat Russia\u2019s Konstantin Semenov 2-0 (21-19, 21-18).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAny time you get a win out here it is great because they are all great teams,\u201d Crabb said. \u201cIt definitely feels good to be in the first tournament of the year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think we\u2019re still building off our last tournament, Chetumal, our first win and we want to keep that going. We\u2019re feeling very good and want to go deep in the competition.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The men-only tournament is running from March 9-13 at Katara Cultural Village in the north of the city. It is the second of nine 4-Star events on the 2019-2020 calendar and the winners will leave with 800 ranking points.<\/p>\n<p>Qatar has built up a strong tradition of hosting World Tour events since it hosted its first in 2014. Two more followed in 2015 and 2016, then in 2018 the tournament grew from a 3-Star tournament to a 4-Star tournament.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/web.facebook.com\/FIVBBeach\/videos\/516612369239105\/\">https:\/\/web.facebook.com\/FIVBBeach\/videos\/516612369239105\/<\/a><\/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>Grzegorz Fijalek was at his athletic best as he and Michal Bryl reached the Doha 4-Star quarterfinals Doha, Qatar, March 11, 2020 \u2013 Michal Bryl and Grzegorz Fijalek had to&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":51921,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"pgc_sgb_lightbox_settings":"","_vp_format_video_url":"","_vp_image_focal_point":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[88,100],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-51917","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-beach-volleyball-news","category-slider"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 -
