João Pessoa’s clearest standouts: Åhman/Hellvig’s efficiency, Krattiger/Dillier’s blocks and Crabb/Benesh’s defense
Across 60 of 61 matches and 143 sets with statistics, several teams separated themselves from the tournament averages. Åhman/Hellvig led the field most decisively in hitting efficiency, while Krattiger/Dillier and Crabb/Benesh were the standout blocking and digging teams. Henrique/Manaus topped the aces rate, but that mark came from only one match and three sets.
- Åhman/Hellvig were the tournament’s efficiency benchmarkTheir 50.9% team hitting efficiency was 14.33 percentage points above the 36.57% tournament average, the largest supplied team-level gap. The sample covers all seven matches and 15 sets; Åhman also posted 54.79% individually, while Hellvig recorded 46.62%.
- Henrique/Manaus led the aces rate, with limited sample coverageTheir 2.00 aces per set exceeded the 0.86 tournament average by 1.14. However, the figure comes from just one match and three sets, so it is a notable rate rather than a robust tournament-volume benchmark. Among teams with broader coverage, Evandro/Arthur Lanci recorded 1.40 aces per set across six matches and 15 sets.
- Krattiger/Dillier were the blocking outlierThey averaged 2.85 blocks per set, 1.25 above the 1.60 tournament average, across six matches and 13 sets. Their 37 team blocks were tied for the supplied team high with Åhman/Hellvig, while Krattiger individually averaged 2.77 blocks per set.
- Crabb/Benesh led the defensive-volume numbersTheir 10.00 digs per set were 2.05 above the 7.95 tournament average across six matches and 13 sets. The team accumulated 130 digs, second only to Daubas/Aye, C.’s 142 despite Daubas/Aye, C. playing 16 sets.
- More digging coincided with slightly lower opponent hitting efficiencyThe supplied 120-observation correlation between digs per set and opponent hitting efficiency was negative at -0.168. Descriptively, higher digging rates were associated with slightly lower opponent hitting efficiency in this sample; the coefficient is modest and does not establish causation.
