Serbia will be keen to continue their giant-killing act when they face Brazil in the semifinals of the FIVB Volleyball Women’s Nations League on Saturday. The Europeans pulled off a massive upset against the United States of America in the quarterfinal stage of the competition. The USA were the in-form side in the tournament and one of the clear favourites to lift the trophy, however, Serbia had other ideas during their last-8 meeting. Now their reward is a match-up against another in-form side in Brazil on Saturday.
