The first phase of the World League final six is over. Taylor Sander was the star man of this third day as he led the USA in the victory over France (3-1), which was worth a place in the semi-finals. In the other group, the Verona stars Kovacevic (12 points) and Starovic helped Serbia to the next stage by beating Poland at the tie-break. Because of this result, the Italian team of Simone Anzani was knocked out. The semi-finals will be played on Saturday, first Serbia versus the USA and then France against Poland.
