She emerged the Most Valuable Player (MVP) of the competition just like in the 2018 edition held in Japan where Serbia won their first world title
It's a painful loss for Brazil who were looking to claim gold after losing to USA and Italy in the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games final and Volleyball Nations League (VNL) final respectively
Tijana Boskovic led from the front as Serbia successfully defended their title following a 3-0 (26-24, 25-22, 25-17) win over Brazil in the final of the FIVB World Championship on Saturday.
The Serbian captain scored a game-high 24 points, all from attack, as the Europeans topped Brazil in attack (50 to 33), block (9 to 5), and aces (4 to 3). The South Americans committed less errors (13 to 22) but Boskovic, operating at 38.10% efficiency in attack proved to be the difference between the two sides at Omnisport stadium in Apeldoorn.
