 Beograd, Serbia, June 20, 2015 - Serbia won the second match of the weekend against Australia in straight sets (25-23, 25-20, 25-20).

Serbia coach Nikola Grbic: They didn’t defend well tonight and that made it much easier for us. Of course, we were focused right from the start and we didn’t let the match alip away. We tried some younger players and I am satisfied.

Serbia captain Dragan Stankovic: We were much better than in the first match. This is a very important victory for us. We struggled a bit in the first set, but then everything started to go our way and we easily won the second and the third one.

Australia coach Roberto Santilli: We didn’t play our best game, it was the worst this year rather. Maybe we are tired after so much travelling. We approached the game well, we were ok in the first set, but this is a young group of players and they will learn a lot from these matches.

Australia captain Grigory Sukochev: We were a little bit less consistent and we made a few more errors than in the first match. Serbia played their steady volleyball and that was decisive for the match.
