Best Outside Hitter: Gabi Guimarães 🇧🇷 | 2022 Women's World Championship

Hard it's just fast that's hard and fast from Gabby and particularly on this ball through the middle she wants to that's her hardest shot that one straight down the line looking for the hat trick gets the overpass instead doesn't have a swing Gabby does and they take it three in a row Brazil are on the comeback they're two behind she going crazy well played Gabby that brings up set point now work on your peripheral vision Gabby saw the gap in the block oh what a hit from Gabby bounces one that one went to spike town somebody get my son that's not the best of sets for Mauro trying to force that out to Bossetti and they pay the price great swing from Gabby that there isn't one define definitive technique technique is just a means to an end it is a lot of with the serve reacting quickly enough to be able to get it left almost on their feet both of them coming up late they have got it into transition and they have gone as well with to fruition for them they take the opening set 25 20. Free ball here for Brazil Gabby again works the cross-court angle well played Gabby always an aglet a bit like Igonu for Italy that's the great part is what a swing that was the most unbelievable spike I'd say of this tournament would you think that from Gabby she's just here's my crease second serve rotation that's a very good serve and it's put away straight away too powerful for Nika Dalderop be a winner very rarely will that not be finished off by their opponents and service points for Nika Dalderop and the Netherlands 9-7 they lead targeting Peter Royce but she did well then and then Gabby bends her back and unloads us and as a blocker the timing's just a little bit different to everybody else who is that just managed to creep over it has my crease again and then Gabby goes for the tip and finds the hole good low serve that is on the block just waiting to see where that's going to go Carol goes round us one way and then Gabby takes it on the other side the outside hit this communication there from Belgium really able to get a big swing on this she knew she was late so she just tipped it great but it's been a really good comeback this by Brazil after the magnificent start from Belgium and it's getting better here Brazil in front where the set is just over the top of the quick player takes Jansen's finds a way past the very good blockers 23-24 this is the last chance for Belgium to get the set one inside out and it's been dug Tenara maybe a better chance now Gabby oh good up more chances Gabby again and they've done it 24-24 good dig really good dig from Tenara from Natina and then Gabby puts it away it's now set point for Brazil the referees today they're again about the antenna and the fact that that this antenna is outside of the uh the white strap that goes down it normally they sit inside it as a sleeve so it's a two-piece system but um the ball hits that it's out but also if it hits that white band it's also out of play that's not coming back from Gabby massive hit from her and the subs hasn't impacted on Brazil at all it's all been positive so far Gabby again drills that one right inside of her but I love the way how sometimes she just takes on the top of the block but other times she just can't help herself she wants to Shimomura with the serve oh what a dig by Ishikawa that looked to have been done and dusted in Brazil's point it is now well they had to work for it not a bad way for Gabby to get into the game the players coming in are up to game speed so important could get back to three Gabby make sure they get back to three playing slow motion it's going to look like a fast hit just the speed in which oh Gabby again balls coming quickly off service as well that's nice what a great swing that is from Gabby can be averaging a little too high but he's still too far away from Ishikawa that's the answer and that time the ball was on her side nice ball Gabby that's your cover for Brazil and then what an angle and Brazil get their point to go 23-22 that's just trademark Gabby there one and a bit blockers she knew she had the angle she just snapped it down with that fast arm that was the only place it could go and now there's another chance here for Brazil Gabby hang time tastic and they'll have the points just waiting in the air for that didn't she so it was a little bit higher perhaps than normal for her but she just really committed she was not going to let that one go she didn't want to give them a roll shot she wanted to still make the first touch for Boskovic oh what a serve that Rosemary is scrambling free ball then for Serbia four attacking options good up by Gabby nice touch by Teodora Pusic oh what a pickup Niemi oh that's clever so clever from Gabby wide open for Niemi and then Gabby that is magnificent and that and I'm not talking about the hit good set oh goodness good ball from Niemi nice touch but Serbia have a chance to extend their lead good work by Brazil though to slow it down they got another chance but there's no swing oh what a pickup by Niemi and Gabby with a quick arm gets it down that's a massive side out for Brazil and that will come back but it's going to be free ball for Brazil four attacking options oh Gabby brilliant this is just so difficult for the blockers to know and it makes it so much easier for Gabby to go to the left corner to the right corner she feels
