After five matches of pool play spanning the first 10 days of the Rio Olympics, the women’s volleyball knockout stages are set to begin with the quarterfinals on Tuesday.
Team USA has lived up to its No. 1 ranking through the tournament so far with an undefeated record, and enters the quarterfinals as the top overall seed. The United States will take on a Japan squad that earned six points in the preliminaries, good enough for fourth place in Pool A, at 1:00 p.m. ET.
Tuesday’s most interesting quarterfinal could come at 9:15 p.m. ET, when Brazil takes on China. The Chinese struggled a bit in pool play with only seven points, but are one of the few squads with enough ability to challenge the undefeated hosts.
Serbia will look to continue its strong run with a win against Russia at 5:00 p.m. ET. Russia finished second place in Pool A and only lost to Brazil, but the Serbians earned 11 points in the preliminaries and have played tough against highly ranked teams throughout the tournament.
South Korea and the Netherlands will open Monday’s slate at 9:00 a.m. The Dutch have a strong chance to get to the medal rounds after beating China and taking the United States to five sets in pool play.
