FUZHOU, China, April 23, 2016 – USA’s Philip Dalhausser and Nicholas Lucena are back on top, taking gold under wet conditions for their final against Italy’s Paolo Nicolai and Daniele Lupo at the 2016 FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour Fuzhou Open.

Dalhausser and Lucena secured their second gold medal of the season with a 2-0 (21-18, 21-15) victory.

“I played average, but this guy played great, he was by far the best player out there, he sided out I think every single ball, it was all him,” said Dalhausser.

Dalhausser/Lucena won the Maceio Open in their season opening tournament. Silver for Nicolai/Lupo is their second of the season after the Vitoria Open in March.

The bronze medal went to Spain’s Pablo Herrera Allepuz and Adrián Gavira Collado who defeated Latvia’s Aleksandrs Samoilovs and Janis Smedins 2-1 (17-21, 21-19, 15-12).
