Entering the match against Dominican, the current Serbian world champion is much more appreciated. Many people expected to be a strong victory for Boskovic and his teammates to continue the race to the top 8 Volleyball Nations League 2023.
Supplementing Tijana Boskovic couple with Maja Ognjenovic, Serbian women's volleyball team aims to win all 4 wins to get a ticket to the VNL 2023 final in the US next month.
However, the first set predicted a difficult match for Boskovic and his teammates. It takes a hard time Serbia to win against rival Caribbean in the last minutes.
Although the fighting style is slow but full of power, the good defense of Dominica has caused countless difficulties with Serbia. In the second set, when playing sublimated, Dominica won the way to bring the match to the balance.
The drama was pushed up in set 3 when Serbia had to work very hard to win the 25-23 button before again for the opponent to equalize with the victory in set 4.
Entering Set 5, Dominican girls play firmly and stable while Serbia can only rely on Boskovic. This caused the defending world champions to lose to the opponent in this set thereby having to take a shock defeat.
With this defeat, along with the recruitment of Chinese women's volleyball to overcome Korea, Italy easily won against Croatia, the only chance for Serbia was Japan to lose to Thailand in the match tonight.
However, this is very difficult when Japan is more appreciated than many home teams. Moreover, Japanese girls also match against Italy tomorrow.
It can be said that the opportunity for Serbia to go on time is only in theory and this is also a lesson for this team when building a very monotonous play as well as depending on Boskovic alone.
