Twenty-four teams are still playing in the Open, Women’s and Seniors quarterfinal rounds, and no match has a team so far ahead that the semifinal stage is a lock. The one certainty is that the three quarterfinals will end today.
Two of the favorites in the Open series – Italy and Norway – have reasonably comfortable leads, but the feeling of safety will set in only after the final tally has them still in front. Experienced players have learned to take nothing for granted.
England is the only country with teams in each of the series, and they are leading in two of the three competitions, over Romania in the Open and France in the Women’s. The Seniors from England trail Japan with 48 boards to play. |
