Another exciting day ahead

The Swatch Beach Volleyball FIVB World Tour Finals launched Tuesday at Fort Lauderdale Beach Park where three of the four "wild card" entrants in the international Beach Volleyball event posted opening pool play match wins.

With the FIVB World Tour returning to Florida for the second-time this season, "wild card" entrants Daniele Lupo/Paolo Nicolai of Italy joined Americans Lauren Fendrick/April Ross and Phil Dalhausser/Nick Lucena in validating their presence in the USD 500,000 event where the winning teams in each gender will share the richest winning purses of USD 100,000 when the event concludes Sunday with the medal matches.  Emily Day and Jen Kessy of the United States, the fourth "wild card" had an opportunity to make it a perfect day for late additions, but dropped a three-set match to a team from Canada.  The Swatch Beach Volleyball FIVB World Tour Finals features the top eight men's and women's teams on the FIVB World Tour as of September 6 after the Rio "test" event for the 2016 Olympic Games earning a berth in the tournament as well as two wild card teams per gender.

The action at Fort Lauderdale Beach Park continues today, with exciting face-offs of the international beach volleyball elite.
