Saquarema’s clearest standouts: Swedish efficiency, Brazilian serving and Norwegian blocking
Across 61 of 62 matches and 142 sets with statistics, several teams separated sharply from the tournament averages. The strongest profiles were Hölting Nilsson/Andersson’s hitting, Evandro/Arthur Lanci’s serving and Mol/Sørum’s blocking. Coverage is nearly complete, but not total.
- Hölting Nilsson/Andersson led the efficiency raceTheir 53.31% hitting efficiency was 15.21 percentage points above the 38.10% tournament average across 6 matches and 12 sets. At player level, Andersson posted 55.28% and Hölting Nilsson 51.26%; Hellvig recorded the highest listed individual mark at 66.97% in 11 sets.
- Evandro/Arthur Lanci were the tournament’s serving outlierThey averaged 2.11 aces per set—1.20 above the 0.91 tournament average—in 9 sets. Their 19 aces were also the highest team total listed, despite a smaller four-match sample.
- Mol/Sørum dominated at the netTheir 2.50 blocks per set exceeded the 1.50 tournament average by 1.00 across 7 matches and 14 sets. They recorded 35 blocks, the highest team total listed; Mol alone averaged 2.50 blocks per set.
- Crabb/Benesh posted the top digging rateTheir 10.13 digs per set were 2.19 above the 7.94 tournament average. This came from only 3 matches and 8 sets, so the standout rate has notably limited sample coverage.
- Digging showed only a weak negative association with opponent hittingAcross 122 observations, digs per set and opponent hitting efficiency had a correlation of -0.166. Descriptively, higher digging rates coincided with slightly lower opponent hitting efficiency in this sample, but the relationship was weak and does not establish causation.
