Abejos finalo rungtynės buvo labai įtemptos ir baigėsi mazais skirtumais o ir pats Rytas stebina labai geru žaidimu o Žalgiris puolime turi problemų. Vėlgi iššovė Sirvydis, bet labiau Rytą pralaimėjo namie negu Žalgiris laimėjo tad Kaunas vėl galima tikėtis atkaklaus susitikimo ir Ryto nepralaimejimo dideliu skirtumu

If we look at today's matches, this one seems to be one of the most interesting because of the possibility to witness a three-set battle. Although I personally do not like Borges as a player, he can still pose a challenge with his serve, even though it may seem a bit slow. However, the Spanish player is not exactly a monster lately, his age is catching up to him, but he is still much more familiar with this surface and has had good results in the past. Five or six years ago at Wimbledon, he reached the semi-finals, which says a lot about the level at which he can play on this surface. So in this match, we can hope that Borges will serve better than Netherlands did, and I think there will be some intrigue due to the age of the Spaniard, as it may be harder for him to demonstrate the same results as in the past. Therefore, I hope for a three-set battle.

Although Daniel appears weak on grass, I have more faith in his tricks than in Altmaier's miracle. Medvedev has been looking quite pathetic lately, even though he is much better at playing on grass than the local German. However, he has been making quite a few unforced errors lately, and the German has a chance to take the first set, although I believe Danil will finish it in two sets. But the first set is often unpredictable at this type of serve, and there is a possibility to win it during the tiebreak. But overall, I believe that the German will put up some fight in the first set, but ultimately the intrigue of the first set will end up being a complete battle between these two tennis players.

The Youth World Championships featured both teams competing against the South African team, and the situation remains the same as in the previous game. The winner will advance to the quarter-finals, while the remaining team will fight for lower places. The Germans have scored 30 goals and only allowed one. Meanwhile, the Brazilians won against Africa with a score of 25-6. However, I believe that defense can dominate here, since the importance of the game is high for Ghana and their opponents are of a higher level than those faced previously.

A good enough coefficient when Dortmund plays, we can always expect goals and here they are playing against a strong opponent who has been in hot form and scoring quite a few goals recently. Dortmund ended the season unrealistically, scoring 29 goals in their last 10 games but conceding 15 and only having 2 clean sheets, yet somehow managing to secure a spot in the Champions League. Fluiminense has played 9 matches since May, scoring 17 goals and scoring at least 2 goals in 7 of those games, which shows that scoring against this Dortmund team in such form should not be a problem.

The Jonava chances were underestimated, I think, and it didn't go well in the second match at home, but the first match makes me believe that the Jonavans can win in Panevezys, and the difference between the teams is not that big. In away matches, Jonava plays well in all knockout games, even better than at home, both in the semi-finals series and at the beginning of this one. The same argument about rotation arises against Kabelis - a short rotation can only be stretched so far, and whether it will last until the end of the series is uncertain as the games accumulate.

Palmer is a Chelsea midfielder who is skilled in both defense and creativity. Although this season he was not able to demonstrate the same level of performance as last season, I think everything is normal, as he fell into a slump in the middle of the season but seems to have regained his form towards the end. As a creator, Palmer often creates half-chances for his teammates, but his finishing is usually not up to par. However, considering that he is not playing against the best defenses (MLS 23 goals conceded in 16 matches), I believe that Palmer will have plenty of opportunities and will be able to convert at least some of them. I also think that Delap's addition to the midfield will strengthen Chelsea's ability to score goals, and Palmer and Delap could make a good pair on the field. Palmer is also very good at heading the ball, which is something they could utilize.

Daniil Medvedev - a Russian this season is somewhat unrecognizable, lacking confidence in his abilities, not caring how he looks, sometimes he even appears to let the match slip away, but then starts playing again, for example in the second set against Opelka he dominated the game, but when it came to the tiebreak, he only needed a few points, and made two consecutive double faults and gave it away. Altmaier is a lower level player, but a fighter, and playing at home, I think it will be a fairly evenly matched game. They have played each other once before on an indoor hard court, and Danilas won in three sets.

Gael Monfils is a very technical French player, with a good serve, practically playing at home. Last week he played well against Michelsen, but the American had the upper hand in many matches. In other places, Monfils showed very good performances, so I believe the Frenchman will come out on top this time. Looking at the head-to-head record between Michelsen and McDonald, it is currently 2-0 in favor of Michelsen, so Ghana should easily win in two sets. Mackenzie McDonald is a player who wins when he has the advantage, but loses more often when he's the underdog.

The Monterrey club with several well-known faces in Europe looks quite alluring, but I don't think they have any chances against Inter, who may make some changes this season but ultimately their strength remains. Inter are much stronger and control the game, and after such an unsuccessful season, I believe they will fight for trophies in this tournament.

Dortmund is an extremely efficient team that always affects its opponents with its gameplay. The Brazilian club is of a high level and I believe they can confidently resist, especially considering Dortmund's defensive struggles. The Germans concede a lot and clearly score more, especially when facing strong opponents, so I think we can expect a lot of goals in both teams' nets during this match.

Daniel Evans showed last week that he is not completely recovered, but still able to play well on the grass. I watched his match against Hijkata and Evans looked pretty good, especially in the second set. Evans is playing at home, so that will be an additional motivation for him, plus his slice is working well on this grass. Tiafoe is a decent player, but lacks stability and his serves don't always work well, so I think Evans will at least take a set.

Having finished the season very unsuccessfully, I believe that Portugal's Benfica should be motivated for this tournament, because the team looked very good throughout the entire season in all competitions. With a strong and well-balanced squad, the Portuguese team is a very strong favorite in my eyes against the Argentinian club, which, although strong in general, is not a match for Benfica who should dominate and win.

Final. The teams divided evenly with Peru. The game between Abejos was very tense. Smailagic Kaunas spent 12.5 minutes on the court and scored 3 points, while Vilnius scored 4 points in 18 minutes. The Serbian player is not as aggressive in offense as he was during the season. The reasons are known only to him. The player is trying to shoot 3 pointers, but not very successfully at the moment. Considering the circumstances, Ghana is ahead with 10 points.
