The text translates to "Australia, Queensland PL" in English.

Well, I would really want a higher coefficient, but everything looks pretty good as it is. Australia has its fans, which could be heard in their match against Peru. Australia is not an excellent player on clay, but they are able to play successfully and their fighter mentality allows them to not only play well, but also gather sets against any ATP opponents. Nakashima is good, but I think in this match, Peru has a chance and I believe they can catch it because they are evenly matched, or even slightly stronger than Australia, so I think Thompson will win the first set.

Italian is not a bad tennis player, but this tournament in Italy comes after almost 2 months of rest, and before that he had only played in Peru for about 1.5 weeks. He lacks gameplay seriousness and capability, and even though he was enough to beat Tseng, I believe Dimitrov will handle him easily with a stable 2-0 win. The Bulgarian clearly wants to appear better, but the veteran is also playing well and I think he will have enough courage to take on Passaro.

We all understand well how unstable and weak Medvedev is on clay. He is vulnerable, as shown by his poor results on clay this season. Although he has reached 5 quarterfinals (one was not played due to an injury), only 1 match ended with a victory for Medvedev. Danil looks struggling and rarely dominates throughout a match, while his opponents are generally not bad. The Brit is not a wow player, but he can compete very well when in form, and he is not bad. Despite only achieving 6 quarterfinals in 5 tournaments, including the Brit with all 4 losses, he could always manage to at least win a set, I believe he should do the same against Medvedev at the minimum.

Beatriz Haddad Maia had a completely lost season, sometimes playing even embarrassingly, it seems she makes mistakes in places where the level should not allow. Marie Bouzkova plays smart tennis, doesn't have anything exceptional, but also doesn't have many unforced errors, plus she has a 0:4 H2H record with Brazil, so when is the time for revenge if not now.

Sebastian Ofner has been playing in challenger tournaments and has reached the quarterfinals twice there. I think it will be a big challenge for him to face three opponents in a row, and he has already lost twice to them this season, once in Madrid to Nakashima and twice to Gaub during the season, showing that he is not strong. Last year, even Carballes Baena Roberto beat him on a hard court, where the Austrian has a decent serve.

Two neighbors in the tournament table. This year, Kaunas Žalgiris looks very good, but Džiugas also had a strong start. In their first meeting, Kaunas Džiugas even managed to win 2-1, so now they have a chance to earn points at home again, while Žalgiris, with such a lineup, I believe, is seeking revenge. Both teams do not play very offensively as it is usual in this A league season, but they know how to score and concede, so I think there will be goals in this match.

Two productive and similar teams. It can be said that both play at home, so there is no home advantage. Both teams play poorly in defense and often score many goals. Žalgiris scores almost 3 goals per game, while Riteriai scores an average of 3.5 goals per game. In the first match, Riteriai were at home and the game ended in a 3-3 tie, so I think there will be goals in this game as well.
