Hollywood, FL
The footvolley professional ladies stole the scene today on the beach.
First, the ladies competed in the Mixed Doubles competition and later it was the all-women matches.
In the Mixed Doubles competition, there were some major surprises. Thamara Moreira/Sergio Menezes upset highly favored Team USA squad of Jonathan Silva/Melony Blanco. Later, Moreira/Menezes would be Baroncoski/Brunworth (another highly favored squad). Joao Barreto/Andrea Gomes played well as well; but lost in the Semi-Finals to Fiorella Pellegrini/Leonardo Santana. In the Championship Match Pellegrini/Santana were too much for Menezes/Moreira.
In the All-Women Matches, Team USA (Melony Blanco/Kaitlyn Brunworth) beat Tour All-Stars Thamara Moreira (Brazil) and Fiorella Pellegrini (Argentina). In the second match, Blanco/Moreira got the best of Pellegrini/Brunworth.
