The strange coefficient in favor of Cerundolo, as he has a kryptonite against Zverev, who has already beaten him three times out of three. Of course, on a hard court it will be a different story, but psychologically it won't be easy for Zverev, no matter how Argentinian he may be. This year, Cerundolo has had decent results on hard courts, but it was at the beginning of the season and he can definitely maintain his intensity with his shots. It is important not to jump into too many rallies and I think everything should be fine, so my two choices will be to win in three sets, and finally break the curse against Argentina.
Where Dortmund there always can be expected goals but here even before the preseason games. In their first game they won 8-1, of course against a low-caliber opponent, but the fact that they also let in goals shows that defense can be easily broken. Lille is a much stronger opponent and I believe they will contribute to the Over, with good goals form, scoring 7 in their last 2 matches but also conceding 3 against Como. I think we will see goals from both sides in this match, which leads to the Over.
At the beginning of this year's Australian Open tournament, Rybakina defeated her opponent in two sets (6:3, 6:4). After Wimbledon, Elena has played five matches on hard surface: four wins and all of them - with a dry result.
Sometimes, Yastremska is able to surprise her opponents, but when Rybakina feels comfortable on hard court, like a fish in water, it is almost impossible to stop her.
The representative of Kazakhstan competed in Washington before this tournament, where she was defeated after 39 games by Fernandez, who later won the first place. Therefore, this time Rybakina is definitely determined to reach the finals. And wasting energy on third sets - is not rational.
Bayern is a significantly better team and with the addition of Diaz from Liverpool, their already strong front line with Kane, Gnabry, and Sane will be further strengthened. The question of scoring goals is not an issue for them, but on defense they always provide opportunities for their opponents. Lyon is no longer the same team that it was before, as they have been relegated to the second division in France and have sold many players. However, they still have the right to play in the Europa League and have enough to test Bayern's defense. The home team will still be the favorite.
Bayern is a significantly better team + they have been reinforced by the addition of Diaz from Liverpool, which will strengthen their already solid frontline consisting of Kane, Gnabry, and Sane. The question of goals does not exist here, while on defense, they always give their opponents a chance. Lyon is no longer the same team as before - they were relegated to the second division in France and sold many players. However, they still have the right to play in the Europa League and have enough talent to challenge Bayern's defense. The home team will still be the favorite.
Wattens looked friendly even against weak opponents, but their defense seems very poor. Hartberg's defense may not have been outstanding either, but their style of play is positive. They had a very solid performance last season, and even fought for qualification in the Conference League playoffs. Wattens has been suffering from their poor defense for several seasons now. The head-to-head record is also in favor of Hartberg.
The Varnas game has been very turbulent lately and the defense is not shining. There have been some opponents of a decent level, but there have been matches where the lead was taken and still ended up losing. Meanwhile, GAIS is in excellent form and their game has been stable for a long time. The situation of Varnas in the table is deteriorating and it is likely that the players are losing faith, while GAIS is holding onto the top 3.
Women's Champions League Qualification. The hosts from Luxembourg defeated Athens AEK in the first stage after extra time, making them the favorites in this match. Meanwhile, the neighbors from Riga crushed the Estonian champions. The Latvian club has a number of foreign players, which only strengthens the team. They are also in the middle of their football season, giving them a lot of practice. Therefore, I believe it is worth taking a risk with a Draw no Bet on Latvia with such odds during the regular time.
Czech Republic football league. Two rounds have already passed, "Jablonec" club has two equal results 1-1. In the first rounds, the club had to fight against the league giants - "Plzen" and Prague's "Sparta". In both matches, the team played against opponents as equals, which gives the players confidence. Now the team faces a weaker opponent, so of course, the team expects a win. "Hradec" club lost to "Karvina" with a score of 1-2 and unexpectedly played a draw of 2-2 with Prague's "Slavia" in the first round. The team had a very productive preparation and I think we can expect goals from both teams.
2-0 wins for Ruud and one of those matches was on hard court. This happened a long time ago, but Norway seems quite strong in this tournament and even though Khachanov is the most serious opponent now, he can still be confidently beaten. Karen himself had relatively weak opponents, but still dropped a set and overall the Russian doesn't seem very stable. So when Ruud catches a pretty good form, I think he has a chance to win.
Two very good serving tennis players looked quite impressive in this tournament. Medvedev, after defeating Popyrin, I think should once again surprise and not give up easily. In their only previous meeting, they played three sets, which we can expect here as well. Both serve well but are inconsistent and can easily lose a set, especially on this hard court where a tiebreak is also a very real possibility.
The Germans had a particularly long preparation and played many games, demonstrating stability in their offense. Even against the very well-defending Spaniards, they managed to score 66 points, only falling short to the French whose defense is on another level. So I trust in the German offense, not the Slovenian defense.
Lexington ITF, hard
Lepchenko V., although she plays quite well at these levels as an American, she is already 39 years old and the semifinals will be much more challenging, and her performance may not be as strong as it used to be, even though in her better days Lepchenko specialized in playing on clay courts.
Wang Xiy, lacks stability, but she is a hard court player with a decent serve, and she has been consistently playing in the biggest Grand Slam tournaments, despite having some health issues or other periods where she tries to play at the ITF level.
Vitality, having won the Major, continues to maintain their dominance. All opponents were crushed in the group stage. Simply put, they are one step ahead of other teams. No one can stop them, MOUZ is currently not in a form to pose a serious challenge.

No matter how good the Dutch may be and even demonstrated it against our national team, the Austrians have a strong team with 14.5 points NBA drafted Raptors player Jakob Poeltl. One of the Raptors leaders with almost 10 rebounds, I believe, will inspire his national team and Austria will play successfully.
It's a pity that Granados has been replaced by another foreigner, Jacob Wiley, but still, Macedonia is a clear favorite against Romania. Playing at home and having won two against Peru in friendlies against Switzerland gives hope for a Macedonian victory.
Another meeting of the league giants and mid-level team. The season has just begun, but the Rangers team has already played a period of matches in the Champions League, where they looked very good, so the start will be successful. Motherwell team fought for survival in the last season and has not improved much this season, so the Rangers' start in Scotland should be strong.
