Russia vs. Canada
The tie-break was a real roller coaster.
Let’s start with the first set where we watched a great performance of the Russian team. Their display didn’t leave that much space to Stephane Antiga’s team 25-17. Even in the second set, they had to surrender 25-22.
However, we saw an answer from the Canadian team in the next two sets. Russia looked like a team who needs a confidence boost. Canada took the opportunity to tie the score while Russia were trying to reach their display from the first two sets.
In the tie-break, after many turnarounds, Russia managed to defeat Canada and to stay undefeated at the Hubert Wagner Memorial.
