Serbia-Denmark
With this result Serbia completed their home run with four wins in as many matches to successfully follow up on the silver medal the group had claimed last year at the European Championship.
Though they played with an unusual starting six – mixing up starting players with some of their second lines – the local favorites of Serbia did not have any major problem to rout Denmark in three sets.
The trio composed of Katarina Canak, Natasa Cikiriz and Milica Kubura top scored in the end with 9 points apiece. However, the start of the game was a little difficult for the home side as the Serbian girls struggled to find the right motivation and the score was kept close by their opponents up to 7 all.
However, Serbia changed gear after the first mandatory stop and quickly pocketed the opening set at 25-15. Denmark could keep the pace set by the home side only in the early stages of the second set and Serbia finished it off very quickly at 25-13. Things did not change also in set 3 where Serbia played for the audience and Denmark did not show the power and energy necessary to attempt a comeback (25-14).
