WATCH All Day 5 Highlights and Replays at the 2017 Grand Prix

2017 FIVB VOLLEYBALL WORLD GRAND PRIX – GROUP 1 DAILY RECAP

Group 1
July 7th – August 6th
FIVB World Grand Prix Round 1
Schedule/Results

The defending Grand Prix champions from Brazil continued to struggle on day 2 of the 2017 FIVB World Grand Prix with a 3-0 loss to Thailand – the first time Thailand has ever beaten Brazil in this tournament – in Japan on Saturday. In spite of the loss, Brazil remained 4th in the table and in a position that would put them safe, though 3 of the team’s remaining 4 matches in pool play are against elite teams that could give the Brazilians challenges.

Saturday’s slip-up came in spite of looking like they were coming together when they beat Group 1 leaders Serbia 3-0 on Friday. Serbia came back for a 3-0 win of their own on Saturday over Japan.

The Americans picked up their first loss of the tournament, dropping a 5-setter to Italy in spite of being up 2-1 early. They will play their 2nd match with Olympic gold medalists China on Sunday.
