Still in Group A, Denmark also performed well with a 3-0 victory over Switzerland.

France and Portugal neck and neck

In Group B, France secured a 3-0 victory over Poland, the Blues doing even better than Spain by conceding only 3 games in the three rounds of the match. A good start also for Portugal, who beat Belgium 3-0, but with two marathon matches, those won by Ribeiro/Nogueira and Araujo/Dias. Hosts Italy also made a successful start to Group C with a 3-0 win over Finland. Germany, on the other hand, only beat Hungary 2-1.

in Group D there were double 3-0 victories by Sweden over Great Britain and the Netherlands over Estonie, with the Oranje, like France, conceding only three games in three matches.
