XIAMEN, China, April 17 (Xinhua) -- Fifth seeds Isabelle ForrerAnouk Verge-Depre of Switzerland swept Austrian dark horses Barbara Hansel and Stefanie Schwaiger 2-0 in the women's final of Xiamen Open here Sunday afternoon to win their first FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour gold medal.
Following a bronze medal finish last year in Xiamen, ForrerVerge-Depre reached the top of the podium this time with the 21-17 and 21-14 victory in 31 minutes over the 29th seeded Austrian qualifiers, 2-1 upset winners over top seeds Kerri Walsh and April Ross of the United States in the semifinals.
"We finished third here last year and finishing even better is a wonderful feeling," said the 34-year-old Forrer, who finally got the touch of gold in the World Tour in her 16th World Tour season, and her next dream is to play at the Rio Olympic Games in August.
"We want to go to the Olympics. Now we made good points here, step by step we are getting closer to this big door. If we go there, of course we want to play well there too."
After outlasting Germany's 15th seeds Chantal LaboureurJulia Sude 2-1 (21-18, 16-21, 15-13) in Sunday morning's semifinals, ForrerVergé-Dépré showed their dominance in the final match. "We knew in the semifinal we didn't play our best and we didn't want that happen again," said Forrer. "We tried to serve better, play better and managed to stay calm and focused."
Verge-Depre attributed the victory to better game rhythm. "We just had better game rhythm, they were not serving as tough as the other girls in the semifinal, so it was easier for us to keep our rhythm in the game and side out and serve much better than in the semifinal," she said.
