Perušič and Schweiner needed to win after Saturday’s unexpected 1:2 defeat against the Cuban duo of Jorge Alayo and Noslen Díaz. The Czech No. 1s clearly dominated their second group match, and did not lose even once during it. Their seven-point streak ended the game. The home team defeated Ricardo Galindo and Isaías Aguirre 21:11 and 21:8.
“We knew that we didn’t play our best the day before yesterday, and the Mexicans, on the other hand, played good volleyball, so we expected an even match. It was a bit more windy than the other days. I expected the Mexicans to be able to play in it, but they made quite a few mistakes. were able to pass well, push them, and then we were successful defensively,” Schweiner said.
“The atmosphere was stormy, the home team had a lot of support. But David and I are already experienced enough to not let it get us down and focus only on the performance,” said Perušič. “I’m glad that we won by such a big margin. It will certainly help us in the next fights,” added Schweiner.
But the final duel did not work out for the Czech No. 1s. The Brazilian couple Evandro and Arthur lost 16:21 and 17:21. Perušič and Schweiner now have to wait for the results of the other matches. They can advance from third place, but under certain circumstances they can finish at the championship hosted by Mexico.
From the twelve groups of four, the two best pairs plus four of the third places will always go to the playoffs. The remaining eight couples from the third row will compete for the last four places.
