CHARLEROI: Serbia relied on their second-string players to come from behind Sunday to beat Belgium 3-2 and reach the semifinals of the Fed Cup. Facing elimination, Bojana Jovanovski pulled Serbia back in the match by beating Kirsten Flipkens 6-2, 6-4 to level the score at 2-2. Jovanovski then lined up with Aleksandra Krunic to beat Yanina Wickmayer and Alison Van Uytvanck in the deciding doubles, 7-6 (2), 4-6, 6-1. Serbia was without Ana Ivanovic coming into the Spiroudome this weekend and lost former No. 1 Jelena Jankovic with a left thigh injury after Saturday’s opening singles. Despite two players ranked outside the top 100, Serbia overcame Belgium’s home crowd advantage and set up a semifinal against Russia.
