Olympic Games gold medalists in beach volleyball David Åhman and Jonatan Hellvig lost their group final in this week's World Tour event in Joao Pessoa, Brazil. This means they will have a tougher road ahead in the tournament.

The Swedes started strongly and won the first set against the home pair George/Saymon, but lost in the end with 1–2 in sets. With the loss, they need to play a longer final than if they had won the group.

During the Thursday evening Swedish time, the Swedish promises Jacob Hölting Nilsson and Elmer Andersson won their group final. Thus, they go directly to the "round of 12", the step before the quarterfinal, instead of having to play another knockout match first.
