A three-set battle between Mol and Sorum and Netherlands’ Alexander Brouwer and Robert Meeuwsen highlighted Thursday’s action in Pool C. In their first matches, the Norwegians had shut out Austria’s Robin Seidl and Philipp Waller by 2-0 (21-17, 21-14) and the Dutch had claimed a 2-1 (17-21, 21-19, 15-9) comeback victory over USA’s Chaim Schalk and Theodore Brunner, so the two powerful teams locked horns to stay unbeaten. The titanic clash not only went to three, but the tie-breaker was pushed into overtime, before Mol and Sorum could rejoice with a 2-1 (19-21, 21-15, 18-16) comeback victory. The Vikings still had to wait for the outcome of the other game before they could punch their ticket to the quarterfinals. Seidl and Waller defeated Schalk and Brunner in three sets, 2-1 (21-16, 19-21, 15-10) to set up a direct duel with Brouwer and Meeuwsen for for the other last eight vacancy from the pool on Friday.
