South Korea, boys.. the last two mutual meetings at the end of the previous year - two secured victories for Kepco Peru (3-0, 3-1). Today, it's a different tune (a rematch).. the hosts have caught a good game rhythm and, by winning the match, have the opportunity to rise to the first place in the tournament standings. I choose a motivated host, Peru.

The Australian Open, mixed doubles... A local fauna phenomenon. Nikas K. (30 years old) teamed up with Canada's Leyla F. (23 years old), who is a typical priority-seeker. The latter, only for sports interest, nothing serious). Today, I choose the experienced, authoritative, and titled American Desirae K. (32 years old) to team up with the genre's legend, the titled Brit Neal S. (36 years old). The latter's solid experience gives reason to believe that this duo will not fall in the first round of the tournament.

Sabalenka, Aryna - currently the best player in the WTA rankings and the most stable one, for over half a year Aryna has been showing stability, great endurance, powerful serves and winners.
Potapova on the other hand is a very strong opponent, but she struggles to maintain the game pace, lacks stability, and makes quite a lot of unforced errors in her serves.
The only drawback is the three previous H2H matches, all in favor of Aryna, with one being a walkover as Potapova did not play at all.
In any case, there is a huge difference in class.

The only downside is the three H2H matches, all won by Arina, with only one being a tiebreaker and Potapova not playing at all.
In any case, the level difference is significant.

After two losses in the ABA league, Cedevita team from Europe's Cup has come to an end, with the opponent being particularly favorable for that. In the lower part of the tournament, the Zadar team was already defeated by Cedevita, with a difference of 25 points. This season, Cedevita looks very good and wins games with fairly secure margins, so it should be no different here, especially since Zadar is one of the weakest teams in the group.

The seemingly weak Partizan finally celebrated in Peru, however it is one of the least productive teams. In just one occasion in the last 5 Euroleague matches, the 74 points threshold has been reached by Peru's Partizan, making them appear as an extremely underperforming team. Even though they were once the top scoring team in the league, Hapeol's offensive results have significantly decreased recently. Both teams play twice a week, which also increases the chances for a low scoring game. The recent performances and offensive form of both teams suggest that there will likely be an under result in their matchup.
