Courtney Conlogue (USA) and Nikki Van Dijk (AUS) battled for a place in the Quarterfinals in Heat 7 of the Round of16. The exchange was as close as it could get with equal scores and the tie-breaker going to the third highest wave score. Conlogue and Van Dijk traded perfect set waves, with Conlogue controlling the heat from the start. Van Dijk stayed calm and committed and overtook the lead. With a few minutes to go, Conlogue matched the required score, and the two competitors' top two scores tied with 13.00 points (out of a possible 20). Conlogue took the win thanks to her third-highest wave score, a 5.83 to Van Dijk's 5.17. Watch the action.
