Although there were some speculations that one of the best opposites in the world, Tijana Bošković, will miss the 2017 FIVB World Grand Prix, her name is on the 18-woman list.
Nevertheless, this does not mean she will be ready to play from the start of the tournament due to a stress fracture of the fibula (a small fracture in the calf bone) she sustained in recent European Qualification Tournament for the 2018 FIVB World Championship.
The list of Serbian NT for the 2017 Grand Prix:
Setters: ANA ANTONIJEVIĆ, BOJANA ŽIVKOVIĆ and DANICA RADENKOVIĆ.
Opposites: ANA BJELICA, TIJANA BOŠKOVIĆ and SANJA MALAGURSKI.
Liberos: JELENA BLAGOJEVIĆ and TEODORA PUŠIĆ.
Middle blockers: MILENA RAŠIĆ, STEFANA VELJKOVIĆ, JOVANA STEVANOVIĆ, NADJA NINKOVIĆ and MINA POPOVIĆ.
