The crowd in the Red Bull Beach Arena, which was already packed in the morning, witnessed a racy first set against the Spanish pairing Álvarez/Moreno, which was completely open for long stretches. Moreno finally secured a 24-22 win for Austria with a net ball.
The second set is also a duel at eye level in which both teams can show their individual skills. After Ronja Klinger manages to fend off the first set point for Spain at 20-17 with a spectacular diagonal attack, the Spaniards ultimately have the better end of the match at 21-18.
The Klinger Sisters got off to a perfect start in set number 3 and came closer to winning the match point by point. When Ronja Klinger fixes the 15-12 with a cut, all floodgates break and the sensation is perfect.
