Serbia recorded four wins in as many matches to keep a perfect record in the 2019 EuroVolley.
On Day 6, the titleholders swept Greece in straight sets, partially 25-21, 25-17 and 25-21, in just 69 minutes of a play.
Unlike most of the previous matches in the tournament in which he set off the match with major stars but was replacing them as the match progressed, Serbia head coach Terzić left starters (with the exception the setter Ognjenović) on the court until the end of the match against Greece.
Serbia’s opposite hitter Tijana Bošković scored game-high 20 points, while Maja Aleksić made 6 kill blocks. Anthi Vasilantonaki put down 17 points for Greece.
The tournament co-hosts Turkey remained in contention for the top spot in Pool A for which they will face Serbia on the final day of the Preliminaries.
Turkey downed France by a 3-0 in front of the packed stands at the Ankara Sport Hall (10,500 fans). By suffering a defeat today, France said goodbye to the eighth-finals.
As much as 10 players of the home side scored at least one point, led by Eda Erdem Dündar (15). Kübra Çalışkan added 5 kill blocks.
