Ostrava: Qatar’s Cherif Younousse and Ahmed Tijan will take on Czechia’s Ondrej Perusic and David Schweiner in the quarterfinal match bound to attract the largest crowds to the centre court in Ostrava as the home favourites attempt to keep the tradition they started in previous years and make the last four at the 2022 Volleyball World Beach Pro Tour Elite16 event on Saturday.

Friday’s key match in Pool B went to three sets, with Cherif and Ahmed winning both the first and the third in the overtime. The Qataris celebrated as quarterfinalists after winning the direct clash with USA’s Trevor Crabb and Tri Bourne for the second ticket by 2-1 (23-21, 16-21, 16-14).

The first was booked by Alison and Guto on Thursday. On Friday, the Brazilians just made sure they topped the pool on a spotless record of three straight-setters and shut out Estonia’s Kusti Nolvak and Mart Tiisaar by 2-0 (21-15, 21-14).
