The only Europeans lost to the Thai duo Sujirat Pookkham/Amnouy Wetwithan 25:23, 21:23, 19:21 after 62 minutes. Nevertheless, they have qualified for the semi-finals and therefore have two chances of winning a medal.

In the second set, the Swiss had a match point for their first ever win against this pair, but were unable to capitalize on it. "They showed a lot of good things that we can take with us for the other matches," said a satisfied national coach Marc Lutz.
