Austria and Qatar looking for second win in pool F
- Updated: August 10, 2016
Rio de Janeiro, August 10, 2016 – Alexander Huber/Robin Seidl of Austria and Qatar’s Jefferson Santos Pereira/Cherif Younousse will be looking to advance to the elimination stage in a pool F match on day five. All four teams in the pool have 1-1 records, so the winner will guarantee at least a 2nd-place finish in the pool and advance to the elimination stage. The losing team will have to wait for the tie-breaker to see if they finish 3rd in the pool or go home with a 19th-place finish.
