There is only one question in Group B – Who will finish the group stage at the first place. After defeating Serbia in 5 sets, the Netherlands now have 4-1 score, 11 points and set ratio 14:7. At the same time, the USA have 4-0, 11 points and 12:4 set ratio, while they will play their last match against China later this day which will determine who will take the 1st place at the end, USA or NED.
