In the first match in Suwon, South Korea, Russia scored the straight sets victory 3-0 (26-24, 25-12, 25-23) over hapless Italy who are still without a win. This was their third win this year after they suffered defeat from the Netherland in the last match of Week 1.

Irina Voronkova finished with 14 points (11 spikes and 3 serves) and she was ably supported by Irina Fetisova (12 points), Natalia Malykh (12 points) and captain Kseniia Parubets (11 points. 

Serena Ortolani (14 points) tried her hardest for a gallant Italy, who matched Russia’s intensity for two of the sets.
