It was the most balanced meeting of the first day in the men's on paper, and it kept its promises, with a decisive match won by the Italians.

In men, the hotel which seems the highest is B, since we find there, in addition to Argentina, three European nations quite close in terms of level: Belgium, Italy and the Netherlands. Indeed, if we consider that the Argentinians will finish first of the group whatever happens, there is still a place in the quarter-finals for three countries.

And the one who was the first to put an option is Italy. Indeed, the Transalpine dominated the countries two points to one in a fairly hot encounter:

  • Capitani / Perino (ITA) beats Richters / Meijer (PB) 6/1 6/3
  • Lindenbergh / Nolter (PB) beats Sinicropi / Cattaneo (ITA) 6/4 6/3
  • Cassetta / Cremona (ITA) beats Maarsen / Sietsma (PB) 6/4 6/3

Thanks to this success, the Italians are off to a perfect start in their World Cup, and if they win against Belgium, they will be guaranteed to play in the quarter-finals. The Netherlands can still believe in it, but for that we will have to hope for a misstep from the Squadra Azzura, and win against the Belgian neighbor.

In the other match of the day, the Argentinians dominated the Belgians 3/0. All results here.
