Melissa/Brandie vs. Thamela/Victoria - Pool Play Highlights | Montréal 2026 #BeachProTour

They have won three out of the four. Brandi's on two, first ball side out, and she's fired up. It is fun to see the energy. And a 21-13, 21-16 sweep over Lithuania's Monica Palakina and Aina Rappalaita. Good hustle there from Lopez, but now it's just going to be Brandi in system in transition. Big step close, perfect cut shot for Wilkerson. Now the switch to Lopez. Not the best pass from Lopez. Mel's there on the poke. Set is tight. The poke from Mel's picked up. And now Victoria's scrambling back. Brandi takes the opportunity. Or didn't get up and wasn't ready to approach because she thought that her touches were used up. Wilkerson, good hustle to pick that up. In system, in transition, and Wilkerson just goes O-T over the top of Tomahead already. For Canada. Tomahead now working the back set, and that is a fantastic piece of offense there. Victoria rolling up body, job. That is a beauty. Mel now working out of the middle. It'll be an open net. Tomahead one of the best pool diggers in the game. It'll be Mel again. And this time Tomahead's at the net, and Mel hits that patented perfect high line. And Wilkerson smokes one down the seam. Oh, wow, what a cross-body snap, Brandi. But she makes it perfect. Controlled high. Wow, excellent fill into the seam there from Tomahead. And Tomahead bringing all that heat, finding the end line, big swing. Out of the timeout, it is Canada in full control of 12-9, make it 13-9. Now Tomahead's going to challenge. Sweet hand set there from Wilkerson, and the fast chop down the line from Mel is good. Wow, what a serve there from Wilkerson. Good hustle from Tomahead. It's just a free ball coming in here for Canada. And the free ball can't get any better than that. But neither can that high line from Mel. You talk about ball control. And Mel handles it perfectly. Amber turns with this just absolutely perfect high line. Best blocker in the world has just three blocks for the tournament, well below her standard. That's how many she can get in most sets. And that's how many she has in two matches and still doesn't have a block yet here in this one. Has yet to meet any kind of resistance. And it is another error. Make it back-to-back-to-back errors from Tomahead and Victoria. Beating Mel and Brandi at home in Montreal, which has proven to be a task no team can do in the last two years. It's proven to be very big, and that is phenomenal. And Victoria takes the rebound off Brandi. What a set there from Victoria. But there's Brandi. What a cover. And again, it is a cut poke from Victoria that finds the sand. Credit must be given to Brazil that they are just grinding through these side outs. That's three straight now for Tomahead and Victoria. Wilkerson, that is a fast, fast cross body. Nice soft cutty there for Tomahead. Maybe Brazil's found something. Set have been of the cut shot variety. And so they might just continue attacking that front meter of the court. And Wilkerson just continues. Nice read from Wilkerson. Chance to earn a point for the first time of the set. There's Tomahead in defense, however. She's going to be free ball coming in for Canada. And now, with a beautiful. And Tomahead just gets that high reach over and around Wilkerson. Deep float here from Victoria. Perfectly passed from Wilkerson. And again, Wilkerson just pressure now switching to Victoria. And there's the pull from Wilkerson, but the swing from Victoria is just too dang good. Mel high, and again. Nice touch there from Tomahead. And a better pick up from Victoria, but it's going to be Wilkerson winning the battle at the net, which has been their standard here in Montreal. Trouble there down the seam. And Victoria cracks that one down the line. That is a fantastic swing. Getting Mel fired up. She is intense. She wants a third straight Montreal goal. And Victoria's cut shot is ruled in bounds. They will need to side out before they go seam to seam. Oh, wow, what a pick up from Victoria. Now a chance for the lead. Not yet. And Mel's high line goes long, and Tomahead immediately brings it back to the right. Tomahead now at the pin, and the short poke finds the sand. Victoria there again. You know that that platform is a machete, it's a weapon. The over on one kill, second of the match. Back into this. Victoria wants this one at Mel. It's going to be a line block. Nice touch there for Tomahead. Wilkerson's on two, is well placed. Out of the Brazil timeout. It is Canada back in the lead 16-15. It's been seam, ace, seam, ace. Mel now going high over the shoulder of Victoria. And wouldn't you know it, it is another cut poke for the kill. Will she go seam, seam, or seam to the sideline? And Tomahead just continues to dangle these pokies. Big dig there from Victoria to retake the lead. Wilkerson pulls. Victoria bounces. Tremendous. It is tight. Wilkerson recycles it. She can take it, and she does. For a bye into the quarterfinals of the event for which they are the queens. And Tomah sends it long. Brandi saying no touch today.
