The Swedish world number two have started the WC, which is played in Tlaxcala, Mexico, extremely stable. After 2-0 in the set in the premiere against the Ecuadorian couple Leon/Marcos, there was another 2-0 victory on Sunday.
This time it was the Portuguese Pedrosa/Campos who were defeated. The set numbers were 21–12, 21–14.
A sure victory. But at the same time with a lot of potential for improvement, says coach Anders Kristiansson.
— I think we are getting better and better every day, it will be necessary. We cannot withdraw anything in advance on these two matches that we have played. We have played well, but it will require much more going forward, Kristiansson told Viaplay.
With the double victories, Åhman/Hellvig, with one group stage match remaining, have already secured a place in the playoffs.
