Led by Ishikawa, Japan staged a stunning comeback against France after trailing by two sets, staying as the only unbeaten team through two weeks of VNL action.

Over eight thousand spectators in the packed stands in Orleans witnessed a fantastic duel, in which star outside hitter and captain Yuki Ishikawa led Japan in an epic 3-2 (28-30, 19-25, 25-17, 35-33, 15-12) reverse sweep of Sunday’s big game against France. In the money time of the nail-biting fourth set, Japan denied three French match points on the way to forcing a tie-breaker and claiming the victory. This result kept the Asian squad undefeated on top of the current VNL standings, on an 8-0 win-loss record and 20 points, while France are still quite far from the quarterfinal zone, in 12^th place on 4-4 and 10.
