Cruz/Brasher lead the efficiency charge in Ostrava
Across all 62 matches and 145 sets with statistics, Cruz/Brasher posted the tournament’s clearest efficiency edge. Gottardi/Orsi Toth, R. stood out from the service line, while Paul/Kunst and Polley/MacDonald produced exceptional but small-sample defensive rates.
- Cruz/Brasher were 12.88 points above averageTheir 50.58% hitting efficiency led the listed field and sat well above the 37.70% tournament average across 5 matches and 11 sets. Brasher also recorded 59.42% individually, on 138 attack attempts.
- Gottardi/Orsi Toth, R. topped the serving ratesThey averaged 2.38 aces per set, 1.11 above the tournament’s 1.27 average, across 4 matches and 8 sets. Mäder/Kernen were another high-volume serving team at 1.95 aces per set over 20 sets.
- Paul/Kunst produced the sharpest block rate—but in one matchTheir 2.33 blocks per set was 1.21 above the 1.12 tournament average, but the figure covers only 1 match and 3 sets. Among teams with broader listed coverage, Melissa/Brandie averaged 1.80 blocks per set over 15 sets.
- Polley/MacDonald posted the biggest digging outlierTheir 15.5 digs per set exceeded the 10.94 tournament average by 4.56, but the rate comes from only 1 match and 2 sets. In the broader team totals, Müller/Tillmann reached 13.60 digs per set over 10 sets, while Melissa/Brandie recorded 13.07 over 15.
- More digs coincided with lower opponent hitting efficiencyThe supplied correlation was negative at -0.272 across 124 observations: higher digging rates were descriptively associated with lower opponent hitting efficiency. This is correlation, not evidence of causation, and the sample is smaller than the 145 sets with statistics.
