Above is a snapshot of the seniors quarter finals. Turkiye is really taking the fight to the USA seniors. Sweden and Germany are also lying close to each other. The other two matches are seeing France and India with healthy leads.
The Indians took a healthy 51-15 lead in Session 1 and slowly added to it in winning the next two sessions 33-31 and 23-10 respectively
Here's wishing India all the best for the next three sets to be played today.
While the matches between China and Poland and Italy and Israel are close, the USA and Korea have healthy leads over Switzerland and Argentina respectively. Korea has been an immensely improved side since the Asian Games in 2022 and has impressed everybody with their performance
Apart from the match between Italy and Turkiye which is quite close, USA, Sweden and China have developed huge leads over their opponents.
The matches in the mixed are fairly close and appear like they could go either way.
