Mondiale di beach volley: cadono i campioni olimpici svedesi. Equilibrio nel maschile, routine nel femminile

La grande sorpresa della seconda giornata del Mondiale di beach volley di Adelaide arriva dalla Pool C maschile: David Åhman e Jonatan Hellvig, campioni olimpici in carica e numero 3 del tabellone, incassano una sorprendente sconfitta contro i brasiliani Andre/Renato, capaci di imporsi 2-0 (21-17, 21-19) al termine di una partita di altissimo spessore tattico. Gli svedesi, che avevano dominato l’esordio, sono apparsi meno brillanti a muro e soprattutto più fallosi nella gestione dei cambio palla: una battuta d’arresto che non compromette il percorso verso la fase a eliminazione diretta, ma che pesa in ottica primo posto del girone.

Oltre allo scivolone illustre, la giornata odierna ha proposto una serie di sfide molto combattute nel tabellone maschile. In Pool C, la giornata era iniziata con un altro match spettacolare, quello tra George/Saymon e gli australiani Burnett/Hodges, concluso 2-1 per i padroni di casa (17-21, 21-14, 15-13). Un successo importante per gli australiani, che restano in corsa per la qualificazione. In Pool A tutto regolare: i norvegesi Mol/Sørum, numero 1 del seeding, hanno confermato la propria solidità superando Heidrich/Jordan 2-0 (21-18, 21-16), mentre gli svizzeri Krattiger/Dillier non hanno avuto problemi contro gli uruguaiani Hannibal/Llambías, battuti 2-0 (21-10, 21-13).

Successo netto anche in Pool D per Evandro/Arthur Lanci, che con un doppio 21-14 hanno controllato gli argentini Amieva/Bueno, mantenendo una marcia da pretendenti al titolo. Più tardi, i tedeschi Henning/Wüst hanno rispettato il pronostico contro Mora/Lopez, imponendosi 2-0 (21-11, 21-14) dopo una prova ordinata a muro. Molto più equilibrata la situazione in Pool G, dove i francesi Rotar/Gauthier-Rat hanno centrato la seconda vittoria del torneo battendo Hood/Merritt al tie-break (21-18, 21-23, 15-12). Gli svedesi Hölting Nilsson/Andersson, invece, hanno liquidato gli inglesi Bello/Bello con un perentorio 2-0. In Pool H, vittorie nette per Perusic/Schweiner (21-5, 21-11 contro Kotoka/Samani) e per i lettoni Plavins/Fokerots, che sorprendono gli americani Partain/Benesh con un convincente 2-0 (22-20, 21-17).

Nessuna sorpresa invece in Pool I, dove gli statunitensi Evans/Budinger hanno regolato gli australiani Potts/Pearse 2-0, mentre Schalk/Shaw hanno trovato il primo successo superando gli olandesi Penninga/Immers 2-0 (21-18, 24-22). Infine, in Pool J, successo in rimonta per Haussener/Friedli sugli austriaci Hammarberg/Berger (15-21, 18-21, 15-13), mentre i qatarioti Cherif/Ahmed hanno confermato il proprio status regolando 2-0 Gomez/Veranes.

Molto meno imprevedibile la giornata del tabellone femminile, che oggi ha offerto risultati in larga parte conformi al ranking. In Pool A nessun problema per le brasiliane Thamela/Victoria, che hanno dominato contro Michelle/Corrales (21-16, 21-14), così come nella Pool B per Carol/Rebecca, vincenti 2-0 su Konink/Poiesz. Le ucraine Davidova/Khmil hanno invece superato nettamente Marwa/Nada. Piccola nota di colore per l’Italia: Scampoli/Bianchi, impegnate in Pool E, hanno ceduto 0-2 a Shiba/Reika (22-24, 14-21). La partita è oggetto di un approfondimento dedicato, ma il dato resta: giornata complicata per le azzurre sul piano tecnico.

Nessun ribaltone nemmeno in Pool F, con i successi di Ana Patrícia/Duda e Svozilova/Stochlova, e stessa musica in Pool G, dove Shaw/Cheng e Dani/Tania hanno rispettato i pronostici. Infine, in Pool H, le tedesche Müller/Tillmann e Bock/Lippmann hanno consolidato le loro ambizioni superando senza patemi Churin/Abdala e Gonzalez/Navas.
