SERIE A1 TIM – MATCH 2 PLAY OFFs FINAL


GRBIC GOES FOR 2000 POINTS IN SERIE A


 


Twentyfive are the players still in the Serie A1 TIM championship final. For some of them some prestigious achievements are around the corner. It is Nikola Grbic’s case with one point missing to touch the 2000 in the Serie A championship. The serb turns out to be the setter (still active) with more points scored in the 392 matches he played.


Zlatanov and Nikolv are one step from 600 and 500 personal points in this Serie A1 TIM championship. The Italian spiker needs 7 points to get there: he is this season’s top scorer. The Bulgarian diagonal player needs 8 and he is third behind his Trento’s team mate Matey Kaziyski.


Ventceslav Simeonov, could reach 300 blocks in his career out of 286 matches. He will need three successful ones to get there.
