The task against the outsiders was not quite as easy as had been expected. After defeating the Latvians Tina Graudina/Anastasia Samoilova and the Canadians Melissa Humana-Paredes/Brandie Wilkerson, the players from Lucerne and Bern struggled to overcome the South Americans 23:21, 18:21, 15:12.

As the first-placed team in their group, Böbner/Vergé-Dépré will face one of the third-placed teams in the first knockout round.

The second Swiss duo Nina Hüberli/Tanja Brunner, who also won their first two matches, will conclude the preliminary round in the afternoon with a match against France's Lézana Placette/Alexia Richard.
