An exciting match that Nice won as a great team after a grueling battle.
Confirming themselves as the surprise of the championship, the people of Nice secured victory and qualification for the second time in a week on the court of Montpellier.
However, the Héraultais (second at the end of the ‘regular season’) had laid the groundwork for success by coming back from 2 sets after the initial one won by the players of Mladen Kasic.
But it was without counting on the mental strength of the Azuréens, who were able to come back to 2-2, before finishing beautifully in the tie-break against an opponent who had lost self-confidence.
As usual, the Latvian Egleskans was a very effective hammer: 30 points.
Nice thus won with the scores of 25-22, 22-25, 19-25, 25-19, 15-9.
The people of Nice thus qualify for the semi-final and will meet Toulouse, who knocked Tours out of the competition in two matches.
