    I Campionati Mondiali 2019 ad Amburgo Dal 28 giugno al 7 luglio 2019, allo stadio Am Rothenbaum di Amburgo, si terrà la quindicesima edizione dei Campionati Mondiali maschili e femminili di beach volley. L’appuntamento clou della stagione pre olimpica riserverà anche la possibilità, per le coppie vincitrici, di staccare il pass per Tokyo 2020. Un ulteriore motivazione per le tre coppie azzurre che proveranno a portare a casa la prima medaglia mondiale nella storia italiana di questa disciplina. Nel tabellone maschile, i vice campioni olimpici Paolo Nicolai e Daniele Lupo, sono tornati a pieno regime dopo il recupero dall’infortunio alla mano destra procuratosi da Lupo prima dell’inizio della stagione. La coppia azzurra che si presenta ai nastri di partenza al decimo posto del ranking mondiale, farà il proprio esordio il 29 giugno contro Soares-Nguvo. Alex Ranghieri e Marco Caminati, invece, parteciperanno in virtù della wild card ottenuta e inizieranno il proprio percorso il 28 giugno contro Doppler-Horst, con la voglia di sorprendere tutti. Nella stagione in corso, da sottolineare l’argento conquistato nella tappa 2 stelle di Aydin, in Turchia. Con lo stesso obiettivo scenderanno in campo Marta Menegatti e Viktoria Orsi Toth, che rappresenteranno i colori azzurri nel tabellone femminile. Le due atlete tricolori sono tornate a competere insieme a partire dalla metà della scorsa stagione, conquistando subito qualche buon piazzamento nel World Tour 2018, come il secondo posto nella tappa 3 stelle di Qinzhou e la medaglia d’oro nella tappa 2 stelle di Agadir. In generale, per tutte le coppie tricolori in gara, la rassegna iridata sarà un’ottima occasione per mettersi in mostra, anche in vista del grande appuntamento di settembre, con le World Tour Roma Finals in programma al Foro Italico.

Our serves were not good, neither were the blocks. They had 6-3 on us, but we knew what we had to do, so we didn't stress or got nervous. We just stayed on the court. Now we have one more match left, and we just enjoy being here, getting so much support from the crowd. They really give us a lot of energy. It's fantastic to play here on the centre court in Stavanger.” David Klemperer, Germany –After semifinal loss Brazil’s Alison/Harley –“We tried to go out hard, and managed to have a good start, but they came back even stronger.The Brazilians were the better team today. They were better than us, but I think we made a good fight. It was a great match and a lovely audience. We managed to put the pressure on them in the start, but they pressured us even more. We tried to play aggressively.” Eric Koreng, Germany –Following semifinal loss to the Brazilians –“It was a very aggressive play we made out there, maybe even a bit too much. I had a good start, and in the beginning I had Alison a lot of times.
