At the End of The Day; Contenders looking for a spark

Only six matches remain for teams contending for one of the top eight spots in each of three events – the Bermuda Bowl,
Venice Cup and d’Orsi Seniors Trophy. Th e leading teams seem secure for at least a qualifying spot, but some will be facing opponents desperate for IMPs and victory points. Anything can happen.
Take the case of Belgium. Th e team was cruising through the round robin entering play Saturday, and started well by defeating Bangladesh, but then were narrowly defeated by Egypt and routed by Denmark to fall from fi rst to second, replaced by a red-hot French team.
By contrast, the Dutch women are like a juggernaut, amassing the highest total of VPs so far (222.21) despite losing one of their three matches on Saturday. Italy has been impressive in the open as USA1, gaining momentum, has surged to second.
