Best Players - Slovakia’s Peter Ondrovic repels nine attacks to spearhead Saturday’s block party

Ilia Vlasov of Russia and Kevin Le Roux of France are on top of the list, with the former having a better average than the latter.

Belgium’s Bram Van Den Dries conquered the top spot in best scorers’ list in Group 1 with a total of 88 points. The Belgian opposite hitter needed only 11 points to overcome Tsvetan Sokolov in the scoring race.

The Bulgarian opposite scored 18 points in their 3-1 loss to Canada, but was outscored by the opposing side’s John Gordon Perrin, who tallied 24 markers. Sokolov is now the third best scorer in Group 1.

Slowly trailing scoring leader Van Den Dries is France’s boy wonder Stephen Boyer, who accumulated 87 points in the undefeated run. Boyer is also the best server in the group.



Frenchman Julien Lyneel is tough as nails in the best spiker category, as he remains on top of the list with a 62.5 per cent success rate, with Brazil's Evandro Guerra and Serbia's Marko Ivovic in second and third positions, respectively. These three ranked players are significantly providing their squads with the winning advantage, as their statistics speak for their team’s current standing in the group.

Brazilian setter Bruno Rezende is setting flawlessly and is still on top of the best setter category with 5.54 average by set.

Canadian libero Blair Cameron Bann is still the best digger and Mauricio Silva still holds the best receiver in Group 1.
