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.
