Another rematch
Surgut center blocker Petar Krsmanovich suffered a serious hand injury during training and was out for an indefinite period.. Against this not the most rosy backdrop, the hosts started the match extremely poorly: with three aces from Alexander Markin and an ace from Denis Chereisky, 1:6. But Maxim Kirillov accepted the challenge to the micro-tournament of acemen (two tries straight) and Ivan Korotaev with one ace and a knocked out technique, which Shevlyakov closed, 7:8.
