Nice win for . Unless Serbia decides to go 3-0 in their final games I think we have enough points to be placed into the third pot for the Olympics.

 picks up 6 points after defeating  3-0.

 

 should be able to counter with their upcoming match against .

[JoshMartini007 2,554]

By losing a set to Turkey, Serbia only gained 3.58 points. They are now 8.39 points ahead of Cuba.

 

That might seem like a decent lead, but sets still matter. If Serbia loses their final matches against Poland and Slovenia 3-0 then Cuba only needs to win a single set against Poland to move ahead (assuming I did my calculations correctly). However, a single set win by Serbia against either opponent would mean Cuba would have to outright defeat Poland to have a chance to qualify.

 

This could go to the very last match of the nation's league preliminary round.

Serbia will totally win that set just so we get big Cuba v Leon drama.

and keep in mind Poland has a Serbian coach.  and lost to Serbia last year as well.

 

I know Poland has a very deep squad and I'm sure Polish players will take both matches seriously but still . I think Serbia won the quota tonight.

 

they won the direct quota match vs Cuba. which means they deserve it anyway

We have one of the best opposite’s in the men’s game, but he is surrounded by an average team, while we have a decent women’s team, but no good opposite.

No, the point difference is only 8.5 points. If Cuba beats Poland they can get from 12.5 to 17.5 points.
