The Polish women's national volleyball team perfectly concluded their second Nations League tournament, decisively defeating hosts Serbia 3-1 (25:18, 21:25, 25:21, 25:21) in Belgrade. This was the fourth consecutive victory for the Poles in the Serbian capital, after already overcoming the Netherlands, USA, and Germany.
The brightest figure in the match was undoubtedly Aleksandra Gryka. The middle blocker played a phenomenal match, finishing with 20 points – an exceptional achievement for a player in her position.

She recorded:
10 points in attack (from 15 attempts – 67% success rate)
1 ace
A total of 9 blocks, which literally paralyzed the Serbian attacks
53% attacking efficiency
Gryka not only dominated at the net but also became the top scorer in the match, surpassing both opposite hitters – Bukelić (18 pts.) and Stysiak (16 pts.).

❗️ Poland flies, Serbia sinks
Poland continues its rise in the tournament and is currently in second place in the Nations League standings. A trip to Japan is ahead, where the team will meet South Korea, Brazil, Japan, and Bulgaria – before the conclusive final tournament in Lodz.
For its part, the Serbian team continues its free fall. The world champions stilldo not have a single victoryin this year's edition of the League. The return of Zoran Terzic at the helm did not provide the expected impetus – on the contrary, the team looks increasingly toothless and unfocused.

The absence of superstar Tijana Bošković is keenly felt, and rumors of a deteriorating atmosphere and tension between the coach and the players only reinforce the sense of crisis.

Serbia, which until recently was a hegemon on the world stage, is now atthe bottom of the standings, facing a real danger of relegation from the elite.
