Latest picks

I will repeat. Žalgiris, with the returning Liviu, shows signs of life, the trajectory of form is rising. They earned a victory in Panevėžys against Peru, and on Friday a small rotation is coming to face Banga. Mastery, their own stadium, everything on VZ side.

Although women's WNBA, like men's, is not always predictable, the Mercury team seems to be much stronger than the Wings. I believe that after a loss, the Mercury women's team will be more focused, and they are also skilled at playing against teams that have had a series of 6 games, as they defeated the Liberty by 8 points on the road and by 15 points at home. The series began less than a month ago when they played the Wings at home and won by 13 points. Of course, playing on the road is more difficult, but as of today, the Mercury are second in the league and seem significantly stronger. Therefore, I hope for a team win with a double-digit difference.

ITF Women's Amstelveen, clay..

ITF in Amstelveen, on clay.

The old wolf from Chile is in good form now, having won the Challenger and starting Wimbledon solidly. I think it will be a challenge for Draper here. There won't be many breaks because both have strong serves and could potentially go to 3 sets with a few tiebreakers. Overall, I believe Chile will manage to take at least one set, as Draper is one of those players who can surprise during a match.

I believe Evans will hang on here, he plays at home and on grass he's not a bad choice this year and he started strong at Wimbledon. Of course, Djokovic is a clear favorite, still one of the best tennis players in the world, but in these times he is much more vulnerable compared to a few years ago. In the first round, Nole had a good match, but still lost a set against Muller. I also think that playing in mid-day will be a plus for Evans, as Djokovic sometimes struggles in hot weather conditions and doesn't play at his highest level.

In the first stage of the tournament, Kalinskaja faced off against Serbian player Stojanovic. The match was intense, with both players taking turns leading in the set. However, in the end, Kalinskaja took the lead and won the set 6:3.

In the second set, a tie-break was needed, but the upset did not happen - Kalinskaja won 2:0.

In the upcoming match, there may be some influence from their previous match on clay, which ended with a convincing win for Ana Peru - the Danish player only won three games in the entire match.

Even if the match is drawn out, I would be inclined to bet on Kalinskaja in both the first set and the match.

In the first stage of the tournament, Kalinskaja met with Serbian player Stojanovic. The match was intense, with both tennis players taking turns in the lead. Eventually, Kalinskaja took control and won the first set 6:3.

In the second set, a tie-break was necessary, but it was Kalinskaja who came out on top with a 2:0 lead.

C. Tauson competed against the home player Watson. The first player took a 2:1 lead, but it took three sets for her to secure the win (losing the first set 2:6).

In their upcoming match, the previous year's match between these opponents on clay court may play a role. It ended with a convincing win for Ana Peru, with the Dane only able to win three games in the entire match.

Even if the match is prolonged, I would be inclined to bet on Kalinskaja in both the first set and the overall match.

Although there is a lot of risk involved, knowing that Struff hasn't been playing his best tennis this season, he could still perform better on grass, especially with his stroke. Auger-Aliassime could potentially struggle as he is not very consistent, although Canada has a more diverse team and a lot of options to counter the German player. Personally, I predict a 3:1 win for Canada, with possibly tense and close sets, so the over bet seems like a good option, even though the odds are not very attractive. As for the exact result, there could be value in choosing Canada, as they may not have the strongest character, but I choose them based on their recent form. However, it's important not to rule out other potential outcomes, as Canada has surprised in the past with unexpected results. Therefore, it's important to carefully consider our options, but personally, I am looking for a more thrilling match, and I believe this could be an eye-catching one.

The Faroese League

The Faroese team Klaksvik is dominating the local championship and has 43 points in 15 matches, which is 14 more than the closest competitor. The leaders have not lost a single away game and are the favorites in every match, with only 3 goals conceded on the road, making them a strong team in this league. They will be playing against the average team Vikingur, whom they have already beaten 2-0 at home, but now have a win on the road as well, with such a good coefficient it is worth watching how well the Faroese leaders are playing. Yesterday, the coefficient was 1.8.

Even though Rinderknech played 5 sets, but after Peru against Zverev, I think the Frenchman will be very well disposed and prepared to continue playing excellently. Good serving and decent play from the backline looks very good from the French side, and when playing against a clay court specialist it should be easy enough to handle. I think the advantage can be taken here, but due to the long final clash and Peru looking suitable, Garin manages to win win on grass, and this year has already won 4 matches at Wimbledon, but I think he will fall against the Frenchman who looks very good.

The choice for the winner of the third quarter. The weakest quarter without any doubt because there is no Djokovic, Alcaraz or Sinner. I choose Fritz, an outstanding player who had a great season and played on grass, winning 2 out of 3 tournaments, even though he didn't demonstrate his best game at Eastbourne. His main opponents are Zverev and Medvedev. I won't say anything new about Zverev, he is a player with a weak mentality and has generally shown the worst results in Grand Slams, never reaching the 4th round. And Fritz himself has beaten him before, including at last year's Wimbledon and this year's Stuttgart Final on grass.

Medvedev is not in his best form this year, even though he played fairly well on grass at Halle, but was easily handled by Bublik. Also, one solid tournament is not enough to convince me. Other candidates like Berrettini, who hasn't played in any tournament in the past month and a half, will definitely fall early, and Khachanov doesn't convince me either.

The surface is favorable for Fritz, a rising player, although there is always a risk with him at Grand Slams because he has had some failures in the past. However, he also has a potential to reach the final. Personally, I see him as the favorite in this quarter.

The completely irrational coefficient is given here for Lorenzo to win Wimbledon. It is not at all convincing that Musetti has the same chances to win Wimbledon as Hurkacz, Tommy Paul or Rublev. Musetti is a top-tier tennis player who has started his elite level on grass. Last year, he reached the semifinals of Wimbledon and lost to Nole, while being ranked 25-30 at the time. This year, Musetti is on a completely different level and knowing his abilities on grass, this is complete disrespect and I hope the bookmakers will regret this coefficient. As for injuries and other factors, it is not worth putting too much thought into, but putting ten or twenty euros may be worth it, I am not sure if better odds can be found.
