USA survive "Thai-break" to record fourth straight win

Kobe, Japan, October 3, 2018: The United States were given an almighty fright by Thailand before winning a sensational Pool C match 3-2 at Kobe Green Arena on Wednesday night. The reigning world champions looked to be heading for a straight-forward victory after winning the first two sets 25-17, 25-16 in under an hour. But Thailand produced an astonishing turn-around to take the next two sets 25-23, 25-21 to force this pulsating contest into a tiebreak, which the USA won 15-11 to record their fourth straight victory.
