Belgrade - The Serbian media on Wednesday rejoiced over the success of the nation's five players in the early stages of the Australian Open.
The Press daily said that the Melbourne Grand Slam was under a 'Serbian assault,' while Vecernje Novosti said 'Serbs - World 5-0.'
All five Serbs - the 2008 Australian Open champion Novak Djokovic, Viktor Troicki, Janko Tipsarevic, Jelena Jankovic and Ana Ivanovic - advanced to the second round.
'Their wins pleases as much as their sure-footed play,' a Vecernje Novosti editorial said.
'Perfect! Only Troicki drops a set,' said a huge header in the daily Blic. 'A better start to the first Grand Slam of the season could not have even been imagined.'
Serbs were traditionally strictly football and basketball viewers. However, they are now tuning into other sports along with their TV channels, following the success of athletes such as Djokovic or world champion swimmers Nadja Higl and Milorad Cavic.
