Highlights
Overview
Hungary will try to keep the momentum after defeating 3-1 Slovakia on Friday in front of a small, but very loud and enthusiastic, group of Hungarian fans. Greta Szakmary and Anett Nemeth impressed with their skills and number of scored points (19 apiece) in their opening encounter will try to keep the level high to lead their team to another victory. Switzerland played in the opening match of the tournament in Zadar facing the hosts Croatia to whom they lost in straight set, so after one day of rest, they aim to recover quickly from the defeat and get back on the right track.

Laura Künzler“I am just so happy with the way we fought until the end, we did believe in ourselves and in our chances even when we were trailing behind. Two years ago in Bratislava we beat Belarus and this time we came here knowing that we have the level required to beat some of the teams in our pool. We have a mission to accomplish – which is to make it out of the pool stage and move on to the next round in Belgrade. This is the first step to get there.”
Captain of Switzerland
Greta Szakmary"Unfortunately, it wasn't enough today, but at least we took one point. Obviously, I'm a little bit disappointed, because we could win this match, but we took one point and we still have three matches and we know our goals. First, business and then pleasure. We had a chance to play together more today, but on the other hand, we have three games in a row, so it's difficult to be in a shape every day, but just let's keep going and we will see."
