Match Report

Serbia recovers with a straight-setter over Netherlands

Article

Serbia rebounded from Sunday’s straight-set loss to France with a 3-0 (25-18, 25-18, 25-17) straight-set win over the Netherlands on Monday. With setter Nikola Jovovic doing a great job both in distributing Serbia’s attacks and from the serving line, the southern European side quickly broke away with a 9-4 lead and then kept pace to cruise to a 25-18 first-set win, despite the impeccable spiking of Thijs Ter Horst on the other side of the net. In the second set, the Dutch fortress held up only through 6-6, after which Aleksandar Atanasijevic and his teammates gained control and built nicely to another 25-18 close. Nine points in a row, with Nemanja Petric behind the serving line, flipped the score from a 6-2 Dutch lead to an 11-6 Serbian advantage in the third set, a blow the Netherlands could no longer recover from. Even with some sub-ins on the court, captain Petric, also perfect in attack, led Serbia to a 25-17 win. He became the best scorer of the match with 15 points to his name.

Nemanja Petric, Serbia's Captain: “We made a great start today and were really aggressive on the service. All players had a great concentration and focus on the field. It is great to have a free day tomorrow because it is Christmas in Serbia. Of course we will need it to prepare for Bulgaria. This is an important game for us; they are a great team with a lot of strong players.”

Nimir Abdel-Aziz, The Netherlands's Captain: “It was really a bad game from us and Serbia played well. That´s it. You don´t have a chance against teams like Serbia when you play this way.”
