After winning the Beach Pro Tour Jurmala Elite16 event, a few days before the World Championships, Italy’s Paolo Nicolai and Samuele Cottafava went up to number three in the World Ranking. However, with the disappointing ninth place at their home World Championships, they quickly lost three positions to find themselves ranked sixth. Austria’s Robin Seidl and Philipp Waller, who did not make it past the Round of 16 either, dropped out of the top 10, from ninth to 11th, while one of the best teams so far this season, Poland’s Michal Bryl and Bartosz Losiak, who were seeded second in the World Championship bracket, but finished 37th, dropped from eighth to 15th.
