There’s a pair of American duos hitting the sand in beach volleyball this afternoon, with differing degrees of desperation.
American No. 2 women’s duo Brooke Sweat and Lauren Fendrick have a real problem on their hands when they face Pool A’s other 0-2 side: Evgenia Ukolova and Ekaterina Khomyakova. Win, and it’s into the third place group. Lose, and out.
Phil Dalhausser and Nick Lucena are 2-0 and fine tuning things for the knockout rounds when they face an Italian side that knocked Dalhausser out of the running for gold in 2012.
