NANTERRE, France — Nikola Dedovic scored four times and Serbia beat the U.S. 10-6 in the semifinals of the men's water polo tournament at the Paris Olympics, ending the Americans' surprising run. Serbia is trying to become the third men's team to win three consecutive Olympic gold medals. Just like in Rio de Janeiro and Tokyo, it has moved to another level after a shaky start in group play. Next up is Croatia, which edged Hungary 9-8 in the second semifinal. Croatia is looking to become the fourth team to win Olympic gold as the reigning world champions. The final is on Sunday at Paris La Defense Arena.
