World Grand Prix 2011

Brakocevic show
Serbia is playing really well today
Weak Russia, the team needs Kosheleva, but she's injured

im amazed how calm kuzyutkin still is

congrats, serbia

What a fascinating game for Serbia!!! Congratulations! their spirit of fight was totally amazing, and I must say Brakocevic is in a fantastic shape! Keep going!
I can be sure that Serbia will surprise us more

Congratulation Serbia !!
Amazing play by Brakocevic !

hope kosheleva can play in the european Ch. Her team needs her. Goncharova is not that effective compared to her.

does this mean that russia is in the brink of being eliminated now? unless they beat china. am i right?

They still have a possibility to go F4, only If they beat China tomorrow.

Amazing Serbia!!

Maja played great, Im so happy! Bravo Brakocevic and Malagurski also.

And good to see Nikolic slowly coming back, still not her best, but improving each game..nice!

today, Maja taught to Startseva how to set the ball

exactly ! she was great, her setting was very creative. Bravo

Why Kuzyutkin don't trying to use another setter? Today Startseva was horrible, emil you're right Ognjenovic's setting was really good. Nikolic isn't in good shape, but she have really good serve and reception. Brakocevic and Malagurski replaced her in attack with good effects. Also serbian liberos played well, both Cebic and Popovic deserve to play in NT. I hope that they will play in ECH as well as during F8.

Yeah, We must admit that Serbia is a very well-organized team. as I wrote yesterday, They have 2 great setters (Maja and Ana both...) 2 great liberos (Popovic and Cebic).
actually I used to think Brakocevic was just overrated, but now She is playing super. Malagurski is a great talent, and has the potential to be another Nikolic, another Spasojevic
no doubt about Rasic and Krsmanovic, especailly Rasic is one of my new favourites. unbelieveable She's only 21 this year, but already in high level.

Also Paula felt a injury in her back today...

so tomorrow against USA, no Mari and no Paula.

I think Paula will come back to semifinals......Mari instead, almost right that wont play this WGP anymore.

Play in Cannes makes Rasic well If Veljkovic comes back she'll have difficulties to be in starting six.

Serbia is clearly candidate for ECH-title

Russia, Italy, Serbia and Poland (if Glinka, Skowronska will be back)

Poor Paula and Mari
Fortunately Brazil is already in finals and tomorrow they can give up the match, although even without them they still have chances to beat USA. So Natalia or Sassa tomorrow will be in starting line-up, right?

Glinka probably won't come back, but Skowrońska, Bednarek will rather play. There is also Skorupa, but Świderek wants Radecka and Wołosz to be main setters.
