Round 24 of 2022/23 Ligue A started today with the advance between No.9 Paris and No.2 Nantes Rezé.

To win is Nantes, and they did it in straight sets (23:25, 23:25, 20:25), a result that forced the hosts to officially said goodbye to playoffs.
In fact, there are only two rounds after this, and all teams who will fight for the title are defined, with no position assigned, at this moment!
For example, today’s winners, Nantes, can still end regular season to the top because, with these 3 points, they are at -1 from current leaders Tours (who will face Toulouse tomorrow), defending champions Montpellier are at No.8 but they still can earn one position, and four (five, if we count also on mathematics) teams can still fight for third place!

Today Chizoba Neves Atu was absolutely the man of the match, putting down 25 points in just three sets for the winners, through 61% in attack, 4 aces and 2 winning blocks, while Nicolas Mendez was the only player in double digit for the team from country’s capital.

Tomorrow the others, with an interesting clash between Sète and Narbonne, while on Sunday the postponement between Tourcoing and Saint-Nazaire, two teams that at this moment share the same number of points in the standings…
