The final tournament is being held in Ningbo, China. The semifinal, featuring Poland, will be the second to be played. After the match, the Polish national team will know whether they will play for gold or bronze on Sunday, and whether their opponents will be Italy or Slovenia. In the quarterfinals, our volleyball team defeated Japan 3-0, while Brazil defeated China 3-1.

What does artificial intelligence have to say about the Poland-Japan match? A special simulation it conducted may shed some light on the events that await fans on Saturday morning.

"In the first set, Brazil started well, seizing the advantage with several strong serves and finishing it 25-20, dictating the tempo from the very beginning. In the second set, the Poles evened the game – a phenomenal block by Kochanowski and an ace by Leon secured a 25-23 victory. The third set was a concert of Polish attack: Sasak and Nowak attacked effectively, while their opponents struggled to receive the points – 25-21 for Poland. In the fourth set, the Brazilians showed more composure, making up for lost time on Lucarelli's serve and winning 25-22. The tiebreak was a real battle of nerves: a 12-12 draw, then two aces by Semeniuk gave the Poles the lead, and the match ended with a block by Kochanowski, and the score was 15-13 for Poland," the simulation reads.

Poland wins 3:2.

However, it's important to remember that the simulation can't predict exact sporting events, so it should be approached with a grain of salt. The Polish match will kick off on August 2nd at 1 p.m., and will be covered live by Przegląd Sportowy Onet.
