BELGRADE, June 18 -- The opening day of the FINA Water Polo World League Super Finals in Belgrade on Tuesday was marked by victories for Olympic champions Serbia and world champions Croatia, despite heavy rain interrupting proceedings.

In the second match, Canada surprised last year's Super Final runners-up Hungary, winning 10-9 (3-1, 2-3, 4-3, 1-2) thanks to an extra player in the pool in the final moments of the match.

Spain easily defeated Japan 18-10 (3-3, 6-3, 5-1, 4-3), after maintaining their advantage through most of the match.

The fourth match between Serbia and Australia was interrupted by heavy rain for almost one hour at the open venue in Belgrade. After the break, Serbia took a 12-8 win (4-5, 3-0, 4-3, 1-0).
