Paul/Kunst bring the tournament’s sharpest attacking-and-serving profile
Across all 62 matches, the clearest field-level standouts are Paul/Kunst for hitting efficiency and aces, Cruz/Brasher for sustained all-around production, and the individual attackers Silva Ramos, Stam and Kraft. Hegeile/Vitoria’s blocking mark is spectacular but comes from only one match and two sets.
- Paul/Kunst lead the aggregate efficiency racePaul/Kunst posted 43.16% hitting efficiency, 8.49 points above the 34.67% tournament average across four matches and 10 sets. Cruz/Brasher were nearly as strong at 43.11% over seven matches and 17 sets, while Brasher led the listed players at 44.24%.
- Paul/Kunst were the tournament’s standout serving teamTheir 2.30 aces per set were 1.03 above the 1.27 average, the largest listed team gap. For a larger seven-match sample, Kraft/Cheng reached 1.60 aces per set and Ana Patrícia/Duda 1.56.
- Hegeile/Vitoria produced an explosive but very small-sample blocking markThey averaged 2.50 blocks per set, 1.36 above the tournament average. That figure covers just one match and two sets, so it is a headline rate rather than a deep-sample benchmark. Among teams with broader coverage, Thamela/Victoria recorded 1.62 blocks per set in five matches, and Cruz/Brasher 1.53 in seven.
- Stam/Schoon and Bisgaard/Høg set the defensive paceStam/Schoon led the listed teams at 14.10 digs per set across four matches and 10 sets; Bisgaard/Høg’s standout rate was 14.11 across four matches and nine sets. Cruz/Brasher combined high volume with the deepest coverage among the leaders: 13.24 digs per set over seven matches and 17 sets.
- The defensive relationship was weakly negative, not decisiveDigs per set and opponents’ hitting efficiency showed a descriptive correlation of -0.227 across 124 observations: higher digging rates coincided with slightly lower opponent hitting efficiency in this sample. This is an association, not evidence of causation, and it does not identify a standalone defensive effect.
