Eight aces to Grozer’s name in German shutout of Czechia

Article

German opposite György Grozer led the home team to a 3-0 (25-19, 25-22, 25-20) shutout of Czech Republic on the first competition day of the Olympic qualification tournament in Berlin. A six-point run on the serving of captain Jakub Janouch gave Czech Republic a 10-8 lead and some hopes for success in the first set, but they were soon wiped out by the Germans, who dominated in both serving and spiking on the way to an emphatic 25-19 win. At 22-17 in the second set, the Czechs seemed well on their way to leveling the match, when a phenomenal serving spree by György Grozer was crowned by two consecutive aces (towards an individual set total of five) for the last two points of an incredible turnaround - 25-22 Germany’s way! The German opposite was the man of the third set as well. Further stepping up his spiking efforts and adding another two aces towards his match total of eight, Grozer led his team’s domination in the third set towards a 25-20 close and a clean slate for the home side. On a total of 21 points, Grozer topped the scorers’ chart of the match.

Andrea Giani, head coach of Germany: "The first two sets haven’t been easy for us. Especially in the second set we had a lot of difficulties to play our game. Fortunately we had an outstanding service performance by Georg Grozer at the end. It was a typical first game at such a tournament. For me and my team it is a pleasure to play at home and the home crowd advantage helped today and will help us during this Olympic qualifiers"

Jakub Janouch, Captain of Czech Republic: "We are sad because we lost 3:0. In some moments I am proud of the guys my teammates but I am angry because of the second set cause we were leading the most of the set and at the end we couldn´t manage it to win. Grozer probably is the best server on this tournament but still we had the chance and we didn´t take it. So this is the one thing what makes me feel angry. But on the other side I am proud of the guys because some of them played their first match in men´s team today. So we just need to work on to keep the level and to solve some situations better in the next match.”
