Beach volley, Mondiali Vienna 2017. Ranghieri/Carambula: sorteggio durissimo. Ostacolo tedesco per i sedicesimi

Non si può certo parlare di sorteggio fortunato per Alex Ranghieri e Adrian Carambula che scenderanno in campo alle 18.45 contro i tedeschi Bockermann/Fluggen, tornati sul gradino più alto del podio a Olsztyn nell’ultima tappa del World Tour prima del Mondiale: in palio un posto nei sedicesimi di finale nello spareggio tra le peggiori terze dei dodici gironi.

Nei sette precedenti fra le due coppie per sole due volte gli azzurri sono riusciti ad avere la meglio, Stavanger nel 2015 e al Qatar Open nel 2016, le altre cinque volte, l’ultima delle quali un anno esatto fa ad Amburgo, hanno sempre vinto i tedeschi.

Le altre tre sfide “lucky loser” sono: Kunert/Dressler (Aut)-Seidl/Winter (Aut), Capogrosso/Azaad (Arg)-Prudel/Kujawak (Pol), Plavins/Regza(Lat)-Vandenburg/Nusbaum (Can).

Cammino duro anche per Nicolai/Lupo che iniziano la loro avventura nella fase ad eliminazione diretta domani contro i canadesi Pedlow/Schackter, finalisti alla President Cup due settimane fa. In caso di successo, la coppia italiana se la vedrà sicuramente con una coppia russa perchè è previsto il derby fra Liamin/Krasilnikov e Soyanovskiy/Yarzutkin e, in caso di ulteriore successo, nei quarti di finale si potrebbero trovare di fronte gli statunitensi Dalhausser/Lucena, favoriti numero uno per il titolo dopo aver vinto tre tornei nella prima parte della stagione. Insomma strada impervia sulla via delle semifinali per la coppia italiana.
