Carolina Solberg Salgado and Maria Antonelli will face Talita Da Rocha Antunes and Taiana Lima for a final berth tomorrow, while Agatha Bednarczuk and Eduarda Santos Lisboa will take on world champions Sarah Pavan and Melissa Humana-Paredes of Canada.

It marks the 47th time in 413 FIVB women’s events that three Brazilian teams have reached the last four of a World Tour tournament.

All four teams had to win twice today at the Beach Volleyball Major Series event, with Salgado and Antonelli beating the Netherlands’ Joy Stubbe and Marleen Ramond-van Iersel 21-16, 19-21, 15-9 in the round of 16 before defeating Kelley Larsen and Emily Stockman of the United States 21-19, 12-21, 15-11 in the quarter-finals.

Qualifiers Antunes and Lima made it six consecutive wins at the event by overcoming China’s Xinyi Xia and Fan Wang 19-21, 21-16, 15-11 and defending champions Barbora Hermannová and Marketa Slukova of Czech Republic 21-16, 21-16.

Bednarczuk and Santos Lisboa beat compatriots Ana Patricia Silva Ramos and Rebecca Cavalcanti Barbosa Silva 21-19, 21-19 prior to defeating Germany’s Laura Ludwig and Margareta Kozuch 21-19, 19-21, 15-9.

It sets up a penultimate-round encounter with Pavan and Humana-Paredes, who overcame Austria’s Katharina Schützenhöfer and Lena Plesiutschnig 21-14, 21-16 and then Switzerland’s Nina Betschart and Tanja Hüberli 21-7, 21-17.

Among the eight teams advancing through to the men's quarter-finals were defending champions Anders Mol and Christian Sørum of Norway.

They proved too strong for Rio 2016 Olympic silver medallists Daniele Lupo and Paolo Nicolai of Italy in the round of 16, winning 21-12, 19-21, 15-7.

Standing between them and a place in the semi-finals are Switzerland's Adrian Heidrich and Mirco Gerson, 21-18, 21-18 victors at the expense of Christiaan Varenhorst and Steven van de Velde.

Heidrich and Gerson, seeded 25th, were the surprise winners of Pool H ahead of hometown favourites Clemens Doppler and Alexander Horst of Austria and 2019 Tokyo Open silver medallists Nils Ehlers and Lars Flüggen of Germany.

The other last-eight ties, scheduled to take place tomorrow, pit Spain's Pablo Herrera Allepuz and Adrián Gavira Collado against Poland's Grzegorz Fijalek and Michal Bryl, the US's Philip Dalhausser and Nicholas Lucena against Ehlers and Flüggen, and Brazil's Alison Cerutti and Álvaro Morais Filho against world champions Viacheslav Krasilnikov and Oleg Stoyanovskiy of Russia.

The men's semi-finals and medal matches are scheduled for Sunday (August 4), while the women's semi-finals take place tomorrow.
