Two solid Americans with very good serves and two tiebreakers in the first two sets are very likely, as well as a three-set match, as both players are not particularly consistent at this stage of the season. Both players have played against each other before, and since both of their serves are strong, I expect a lot of games.

Portugal looks quite strong in their second consecutive tournament, and the American does not seem at all like the opponent who could cause problems for Portugal. Spizzirri had relatively weak and appealing opponents, but let's see how he will fare against Borges. Portugal has a good serve and is dangerous at the net, while the American's run should come to an end.

At the beginning of the season, Skatov, who is very confident, continues to play solid tennis in distant eastern regions. After losing the final in Martizen, Kazakhstan, he looks good in the next tournament. Skatov is known for his clay court game, but his current form on hard court gives him great confidence. After a good performance in Peru, Skatov is facing a local, weaker player, whom Timofey must defeat. In everything, Samrej is inferior to Skatov, and the accepted good performance of the Kazakh will lead to a win and a positive outcome.

Hobart,
One-season player. The main focus here is that Stearns Peyton - an American player, has not fully recovered from an injury she received at the end of the 2024 season. As a result, her performance has greatly declined and she often takes medical time outs during matches, and it was not easy for her to compete against Krejcikova in the first round. Therefore, I believe that the American will not be in the best condition.
Danilovic Olga - a 24-year-old Serbian player. I did not believe that she would be able to win against an American player, Kessler, who is in good form and spends a lot of time playing on hard courts. However, she demonstrated good technical skills, her serves were strong, and even though she lost the first set, she still won the match. So I think that due to her better health condition, the Serbian player has a good chance of winning and may even take some sets with a larger point difference.

Lakers Back to Back, tonight Luka on the sideline might also play because of LeBron, it's not clear even though there was no report. But this season they haven't played any 2 game back-to-back situations yet and of course they are facing the Hawks team without Trae Young, who looks good this season and especially plays solidly on the road with a record of 13-10. I think the Hawks are just not a match for the Lakers, being a young, athletic and fast-paced team, these are all advantages that I consider in this match. The Lakers are not athletic nor good at defending in transition, and if Luka doesn't play, they won't have much to offer on the court. I highly doubt if we will even see LeBron on the court. I think a blowout is a very possible scenario, so I'm taking the simple Hawks handicap.

Ferro Fiona - 28-year-old Frenchwoman, very technical but completely lacking in strength. Her serves are very weak, and she rarely wins from the second serve. This was very evident during her participation in indoor hard court tournaments in her home country of France.
Fruhvirtova Linda - 20-year-old representative from the Czech Republic, also technically skilled but lacking some endurance as she often plays three-set matches. However, she is capable of overcoming such a handicap and fighting in three-set matches.

Hobart, Net 5:2 H2H was won by 38-year-old veteran Maria Tatiana, and the last three matches were to the advantage of the Germans. Even though the German only had to watch from the sidelines, she knows how to play particularly well on grass. But in recent years, there have been major setbacks on other surfaces.
Bondar Anna - a 28-year-old player from Hungary, nothing special, but she should also have a strong motivation for this match. Also, this year Ghana had decent performances with victories over Kalinina, Seidel, and Volynets - there are some good tennis players from Ghana and it won't be easy for them. They also played well against Bucsa. So, I would say their form is good.

For various reasons, Denver doesn't have a penalty zone tower. Instead, their opponents are allowed to dominate under the hoops, and recently those numbers have even increased. Derik Queen consistently plays well at home, with 6 double doubles in their last 10 home games. He is the center who does everything on the court. The coefficient is simply valuable.

Nuggets are struggling with injuries, and the most important thing is that neither Valanciunas nor Jokic are present on the court, which means that tall towers disappear from the court. It is unclear whether Gordon will play in the game. Denver is suffering against tall opponents, especially against their attackers. Zion is a monster who can dominate in the court and when there is no height, he can jump over heads.

In the second league, one of the bottom teams faces off against the royal club, which always guarantees a win. The match comes after the super cup, but with a strong and experienced team, it allows for a good game even with rotation. Although Celta has already taken down Albacete's team, their journey will end here, as their strength at home is far from comparable to that of Real, who must win all matches and all cups.

The newcomers in the league seem quite solid after their promotion from the lower league, but when it comes to facing Celtic, I don't see much chance for Falkirk. In this season, Celtic has already defeated new teams 4-0 and 4-1 at home, so I think it's pretty clear who will win away as well. Celtic has changed their coach, who has had a successful start in Peru, and this strategist is already proven, so I believe Celtic's game will improve and the new league contenders should be defeated.

Bayern simply dominates and overwhelms all of Germany. Their form is now fantastic and I believe we will continue to see Bayern overpowering other teams. In this season, Bayern celebrated winning the cup against Koln with a three-goal difference in an away game, and now they are confidently winning in the league as well. In 16 league matches, Bayern has already scored 63 goals, which is an average of 4 goals per game, and in away games they score an average of 3 goals (7 matches, 24 goals scored). Koln is one of the weaker home teams, as shown by this season's results, so Bayern will come once again to win with a large margin.

Long and with a strong composition, Atletico certainly does not cut corners and in the last round they played both Griezmann, and Gallagher, as well as other starting lineup or substitutes from the bench. Now the opponent is once again clearly weaker from the second league, Deportivo. The Champions League is still far away, so there is no need to be cautious, and the team is used to playing in the middle of the week. Lately, Deportivo has been playing poorly, especially in defense, where the team has conceded 5 goals in their last 6 matches. They did manage to defeat Mallorca in the previous round, but I believe Atletico will approach Deportivo accordingly and win.

Having reached their peak form, Monaco is now able to demonstrate better basketball in Europe than ever before. With 5 wins in a row, including defeating Real Madrid and breaking Valencia's impressive winning streak, they have proven themselves on the court. Now they are headed to Paris to face a team that is closer to the bottom than to the playoffs, and I believe Monaco's current form will lead them to victory. They have already beaten Paris 3-0 this season, on all fronts, with each win by a margin of 5 or more points. There are no new injuries, although it is unclear if Theis will play, but I believe Monaco can overcome this loss against Valencia in this match.

The fantastic revenge against Zvezda was, now it's time for revenge against Maccabi. I believe conclusions will be made after analyzing that painful loss in Kaunas. We will work on defense and Cisco will be aggressive in offense, even when Goss and enough time to shine are missing. With decreased rotation, only the best defenders will come in handy for Zalgiris. We have seen this before when Goss was injured. Maccabi doesn't seem as confident lately, with 3 losses in the Euroleague, so it's necessary to take advantage of this weaker team if we are still thinking about making it to the playoffs.
