Vakifbank
In the second semifinal match of the Turkish Sultanlar Ligi between Vakifbank and Galatasaray, we so many ups and downs from both side, but mostly we enjoyed the good volleyball.

That set was uncertain until the end but with clever moves, Vakifbank won it 32-30 and Zhu Ting was the main star of the set! In the tie-break team of coach Giovanni Guidetti (here you can find the interview with coach) took lead from the begin 8-6.
