The Oriental side, however, claimed the victory the last time in four sets when they were pitted together at the 2011 FIVB World Cup.
It was somehow a sweet revenge for China after the five-set loss they suffered at home during the Finals of the 2011 World Grand Prix in Macau when Serbia’s Jovana Brakocevic and Milena Rasic prevailed in the scoring duel with Yimei Wang and Yang Junjing.
After going through several coaching changes, China are showing signs of stability and the match promises to be an interesting confrontation of two different schools of volleyball and two teams who traditionally squeeze the best game out of the other.
