In a game with provocation and controversy, Brazilian Ana Patrícia and Rebecca lost to Swiss Vergé-Dépré and Joana Heidrich and were eliminated from the Tokyo Olympic Games. The score was 2 sets to 1. With this, Brazil had no chance of medal in women’s beach volleyball, as Ágatha and Duda fell in the round of 16. The Swiss will face the Americans April Ross and Alix Klineman in the semi.
The provocations and controversies took place in the first set. After a point dispute, Heidrich turned to the Brazilians and screamed. A short time later, when Ana Patrícia scored, she did exactly the same in response.
The controversy took place a short time later. The arbitration canceled a Brazilian point because Ana Patrícia’s cap touched the net. The Brazilians became distracted at that moment and let the Swiss shoot and forward the victory. There was a reaction, but the 1st set was 21 to 19 for Switzerland.
In the second set, Ana Patricia and Rebecca opened an advantage of 3 to 5 points during most of the time. When the score went from 19 to 14, the Swiss reacted and dropped to 19 to 18. But Brazil closed at 21 to 18.
In the tie break, errors in Ana Patrícia’s attacks allowed Switzerland to open an initial advantage of 4 points. The Brazilians reacted, took advantage of the Swiss mistakes and even balanced the match again. But in the end Ana Patrícia made mistakes both in attack and defense. And the score was 15 to 11.
