The Swedish beach volleyball players Jonatan Hellvig and David Åhman are eliminated in this year's first World Championship tournament in Mexico.
The Olympic Games gold pair won the first playoff match against the British brother pair Javier and Joaquin Bello fairly easily, 21–13, 21–14.
But in the quarterfinal later on Saturday, it became much tougher against Chaim Schalk/James Shaw. The Americans won the first set 21–19, before the Swedes came back and took the second with 21–13.
In the deciding set, Hellvig and Åhman immediately fell clearly behind and never managed to recover. Schalk and Shaw won with 15–8.
