A four-set home loss at the hands of Cantù means Potenza Picena handed over to their opponents of the day their seventh place, which guarantees a place in the playoffs quarters without having to play the preliminary round. Potenza was again without Matteo Bolla.
“Our poor start set the tone for the rest of the game – said spiker Enrico Zampetti – Even if we did a good job of draw level at 1-1, we ruined all our work at the end of sets with many mistakes on the break. We tried to hit the serve hard but did not get any luck. Now we’re 8th but we still believe we can obtain direct qualification into the quarter-finals”.
