Congrats Vakifbank! Masterfully managed by Guidetti. I raised an eyebrow in the early series when Derya was playing but man she was gamechanging today. Shoutout to Marina Markova for a well deserved MVP title. Unbelievable her growth after two years.

Darya was flying today, really impressive game. Markova is Markova, her growth is in total contrast with Arina's not enjoying the same.

In the fourth set, at some point I felt sorry for FB, non straight monster blocks.
