Fijalek and Bryl out for revenge

Watch out, Vikings! Grzegorz Fijalek and Michal Bryl are back and they are eager for revenge!

After losing to Anders Mol and Christian Sørum in the gold medal match of Vienna Major just 13 days ago, the Polish will have another opportunity to challenge the Norwegians on the biggest possible stage, the final of FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour Finals Hamburg 2018 presented by Vodafone.

“It’s time for revenge!” an ecstatic Bryl said.

The Polish, who won silver in Vienna, had a big semifinal victory against their compatriots Piotr Kantor and Bartosz Losiak. With a solid side out game (78.79%) and Bryl’s massive presence in the net scoring seven blocking points, the team cruised to a 21-17, 21-15 win.

“We practice together for three or four years and there’s absolutely nothing we don’t know about each other,” the blocker added. “So the key to win it was to stay strong and be smart. That made the game really hard but we did what we had to do and things went well for us.”

The much-anticipated rematch with the Norwegians will end the men’s tournament in Hamburg and will give Poland its first-ever medal in the World Tour Finals. The teams have actually already met after Vienna, in the first day of competition in Hamburg, when the Vikings won in straight sets.

“I just feel it’s our day and I’m sure we’ll keep the good level in the final,” a confident Fijalek remarked. “We had lost two straight matches to the Polish and now we beat them, so hopefully we can do the same against the Norwegians. We’ll fight and it will certainly be a great spectacle.”

The gold medal match of the World Tour Finals is schedule for 8.30pm CEST at the Red Bull Beach Arena. At 7.15, Kantor and Losiak will fight for the bronze medal against Germany’s Julius Thole and Clemens Wickler.
