The Japanese women's team defeated Serbia 3-1 (25-23, 30-28, 23-25 and 25-18) in the match that took place last night. This result helped Japan top Group H, and will face host Thailand in the round of 16. Thailand is the second team in Group A.

Meanwhile, the top team in Group A, the Netherlands, will face Serbia in the Round of 16. The two North American women's volleyball teams, the United States and Canada, will meet in the knockout round. The United States women's team topped Group D, while Canada finished second in Group E.
Another very notable match will be between the world's number one team Italy and the German women's team. Meanwhile, the representative of the South American women's volleyball powerhouse Brazil will face a relatively easy opponent, the Dominican Republic, in the round of 16.
The strong Asian women's team China will face the French women's volleyball team, while Poland, the group leader of the Vietnamese women's volleyball team, will face the Belgian women's team. The remaining match of the round of 16 will be between Turkey and Slovenia.

In theory, Italy's draw is much tougher than the US women's draw. If they make it through the round of 16, Italy could face world No. 3 Poland in the quarterfinals.
If they make it past the quarter-finals, Italy could face one of two very strong teams: Brazil (world number two) or China (world number five).
On the contrary, in the US women's team's bracket, they did not face many strong opponents, except for the world's 4th ranked team Japan.
The matches of the round of 16 of this year's world championship will take place on August 29, August 30, August 31 and September 1.
