Talita-Antonelli BRA
vs Ross-Kessy USA 2-0 (22-20, 21-16)
Seoul, Korea, May 31, 2009 -
A week after being defeated by the same team twice in a SWATCH FIVB World Tour
event, Talita Antunes and Maria Antonelli turned the tables on an American team
here Sunday to capture the their second international Beach Volleyball title in
2009 by winning the US$190,000 Seoul Open.
“We just played better today
against the Americans and took advantage of the bright and windy conditions,”
said the 26-year Talita, who was named the SWATCH most outstanding player for
the third annual Seoul Open at the Han River Jamsil Citizen Park Beach
Volleyball centre court where over 3,000 fans watched the medal matches Sunday.
“We are feeling more
comfortable playing with each other,” said the 25-year old Antonelli, who was
winning her third SWATCH FIVB World Tour as compared to seven for Talita, who
won the first five with her Beijing 2008 Olympic partner Renata Ribeiro.
“Talita had an outstanding game and her threat at the net gives me a chance to
defend better behind her block.”

Seoul, Korea, May 30, 2009 -
A week after failing to place a team higher than ninth in a SWATCH FIVB World
Tour for the first-time in seven international Beach Volleyball events, four
women’s tandems from China posted improved results with one team advancing
unbeaten to the third-round of the US$190,000 Seoul Open winner’s bracket.
With the Seoul Open schedule
being altered with no matches being played Friday on the Han River Jamsil
Citizen Park Beach Volleyball courts due to the State Funeral of the former
Korean President Roh Moo-hyun, Thursday’s schedule featured an additional
elimination round to trim the field to 16 teams. Twenty matches will be
held Saturday, including evening semi-finals, to set the schedule for Sunday’s
medal matches where the final two teams compete for the $30,000 prize.
