The Germans made their intentions clear early on, with their impressive form helping them to a 9-4 lead.

The Dutch pair struggled to recover, with Reckermann strong at the net.

Nummerdor and Schuil brought it back to three but the Germans then raced away to take the first set 21-14.

They continued in the same form in the second, with the Dutch duo lacking the force to overcome Brink's defence at the back of the court and Reckermann's power.

The Germans will now face Brazilian duo Alison Cerutti and Emanuel Rego for the gold medal following their victory over Latvian pair Martins Plavins and Janis Smedins, who will contest the bronze match with Nummerdor and Schuil.
