China\u2019s Chen Xue and Xinxin Wang booked their spot in the next stage of the women\u2019s tournament by finishing second in their pool.<\/p>\n<p>Italy\u2019s Nicolai and Lupo, silver medallists from the previous Olympics, managed to overcome the resistance of Poland\u2019s Piotr Kantor and Bartosz Losiak on the way to a 2-1 (21-19, 17-21, 15-10) victory, their third since the start of the competition. Finishing their Pool F campaign on a perfect 3-0 win-loss record, they secured the first place in the final pool standings even before the last match in the pool, between Germany\u2019s Julius Thole and Clemens Wickler and Japan\u2019s Yusuke \u2018Gottsu\u2019 Ishijima and Katsuhiro Shiratori on Saturday. However, Kantor and Losiak, on 1-2, will have to wait for the outcome of that game to find out their fate.<\/p>\n<p>After USA\u2019s April Ross and Alix Klineman mastered a 2-1 (20-22, 21-17, 15-5) comeback against Sanne Keizer and Madelein Meppelink topping their pool undefeated and eliminating the winless Dutch pair from the competition on Friday morning, the afternoon\u2019s fixture between Xue and Wang and Spain\u2019s Liliana Fern\u0430ndez and Elsa Baquerizo turned into a direct battle for the runner-up position in Pool B. The Chinese pair completely dominated to hammer out an emphatic 2-0 (21-13, 21-10) victory and advance to the knockout stage. Liliana and Elsa move on to the lucky-loser playoffs.<\/p>\n<p>Also on Friday, Brazil\u2019s Evandro Goncalves and Bruno Schmidt and Qatar\u2019s Cherif Younousse and Ahmed Tijan, on the men\u2019s side, and ROC\u2019s Nadezda Makroguzova and Svetlana Kholomina, on the women\u2019s side, all of whom had already qualified for the Round of 16, won their pools by claiming their third consecutive victories at Shiokaze Park.<\/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&nbsp;<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>Makroguzova &amp; Kholomina, Evandro &amp; Bruno, Cherif &amp; Ahmed top their pools unbeaten Paolo Nicolai and Daniele Lupo grabbed the tenth available spot in the Round of 16 at the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":64148,"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-64147","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 -
