An exciting chapter in beach volleyball unfolds this Sunday as the Olympic rematch between Canada and Brazil takes center stage at the Beach Volleyball World Pro Tour Elite16 in Montréal. Canadian duo Brandie Wilkerson and Melissa Humana-Paredes are set to challenge Brazil's Olympic champions, Duda Lisboa and Ana Patrícia Ramos, in a much-anticipated semifinal clash.

Playing on home soil at Parc Jean-Drapeau, the Canadian team seeks redemption after their runner-up finish in Paris 2024. The Brazilians currently hold a 5–1 advantage in head-to-head meetings, but strong form from both sides suggests this seventh encounter will be fiercely contested. Wilkerson and Humana-Paredes powered through their quarterfinal with a win over fellow Brazilians Thamela Coradello and Victoria Lopes. Meanwhile, Duda and Ana Patrícia remain undefeated in the tournament, not dropping a single set thus far.

Second Semifinal: Latvia vs Germany

The second semifinal features an intense European rivalry between Latvia’s Tina Graudina and Anastasija Samoilova and Germany’s Svenja Müller and Cinja Tillmann. Their recent history adds fuel to the fire—Latvia ousted Germany at the last Olympics, but Müller and Tillmann claimed victory earlier this week during the pool stage in Montréal. The Germans secured their semifinal spot by eliminating Brazil’s Carol Salgado and Rebecca Cavalcanti, while Graudina and Samoilova earned their place with back-to-back wins in Saturday’s knockout rounds.
