PSG is hosting Newcastle and I'm taking Peru as well, even though the odds are not great, I believe a win is guaranteed. PSG knows how to play against such teams when they need to win, and for Peru it is important to secure a spot in the Top 8, as a draw may not be enough. This season, Newcastle is not a particularly strong team, they are very unstable and dependent on their home game. When playing away, it is very rare for them to achieve a favorable result, so it's not expected that anything will go well for Paris. Also, Newcastle has been performing poorly against strong teams this season, based on their results.

There is no need to analyze much here, Real needs a result to secure their place in the top eight and even if they are 2 points above, not playing and losing could cost them the top 8 spot, and although they could probably get there with equal results, I think they will go for Peru. Real has recovered now, with 3 wins in a row, the last two of which were great 6-1 victories against Monaco and on the road against Villareal. Now they face an old friend, Mourinho, and his Benfica team, which has nowhere to go but to win. Benfica usually plays poorly in big games, even on their home turf, they just can't seem to catch a break. The fact that they need to win will create openings in their defense which Real should be able to exploit, giving them an advantage for the Peru game.

Australian Open, women's doubles, quarterfinals. The last day of the tour's competitions, a real treat for the viewers, especially since the court will be occupied by local faun representatives - Kimberly B. (27 years old) and Talia G. (21 years old). These brave girls have come a long way in this tournament. But... today they will face the former Top 10 participants, Japanese Emma Sh. (27 years old) and the oldest player in the tournament, Vera Z. (41 years old) from Russia. The latter, having regained her form, is determined to end her career with a memorable achievement. It's understandable that the locals would root for them, but the barrier is too high for them here.

Australian Open, mixed doubles, semifinals! Yesterday the "French" duo showed character, "rising" from a losing match, I believe they will continue to fight today. But... with the elimination of the "giant from El Salvador" and company in the men's doubles, this genre remains their last, from which no one can easily scratch them. The latter duo, with the 28-year-old Brazilian Luiza Stefani, who has a better season, I think the French have used up their win factor in this tournament and will be put in their place today.

Furthermore, the remarkably surprising Gaubas is playing very well on the hard court and is already a strong competitor in the second consecutive tournament. Gaubas is set to face his opponent Ferreira, who was already defeated by Lithuania in both 2025 and 2024 on clay. In his current great form, Gaubas has been able to beat many opponents who are significantly stronger than Portugal. The only player to beat Ferreira this season was Bolivia's tennis player, who was able to make 38 unforced errors. It's not realistic to expect such a result from the 2nd ranked player, just as Peru's Vilius shines brightly.

A successful tournament in Egypt and getting used to the surface of this tournament, and after going through the qualifiers from the Butvil side, everything seems good before the match with Mrva. In the previous season, Lithuania even managed to win against Czech Republic on clay, and now they will try to repeat the result against Mrva on their favorite hard court surface. Edu lacks stability, but currently he is in good form and confident in himself, and it is difficult for anyone to play against Lithuania, especially for an eighteen-year-old, so the odds seem quite high for our team.

I believe that Unicaja, who looks quite strong, will prove their superiority. In this season, Unicaja confidently won 22 points against the veteran team, Peru, at home in the ACB league. Juventut is an interesting team, but led by veterans, they do not seem as a very serious opponent for Unicaja even at home. Unicaja, aiming for their third title, realistically will not lose in the championship league, so I continue to hope that the streak will continue.

Greece is very difficult to play or even the most difficult in Europe. AEK has a very strong team this season and it is evidenced by their results and 6 consecutive wins and a clear victory in their Champions League group. Although it is not worth mentioning about the great AEK players, an important and noteworthy thing is that Nunnally is returning to the team. Having already played one game, James should now play more and clearly better. Alba is hard to predict and has weakened since the Euroleague times, and although the team's results are serious, they tend to struggle against weaker opponents, and their results are rarely positive when facing a serious challenge.

Perhaps statistically, these teams do not excel in the European Cup in terms of productivity, but they are capable of collecting solid numbers in their offense. The leaders of their group, Bourg, currently have 4 consecutive victories, and in these matches, they have scored a total of 96 points, with only 3 periods remaining and 19 overall points. The German club, as usual for clubs in this country, relies on offense and although they do not always manage to collect a lot of points, in this match it is likely that both teams will be running and collecting points, and I believe that the total line will be exceeded.

I think it will be a very fierce battle from Musetti's side. Plus, the handicap is worth its weight in gold, although I believe the Italian will still come out on top.

I support the opinion of my colleague who wrote before and I also follow the same path with Musseti. Why? Jocke is not in good condition. The Joker only remains a name and certainly is not in the same form as before and will not have healed all of his injuries. I remember the last match I took against him, I went with Vacheron and a 6 coefficient choice and I was not disappointed. I hope and I will not be disappointed now. Why Musetti? I watched him live during the tournament, he is in impressive form, I really liked his sharp slice, strong psychology, stable serves and resistance in stress points. I took him with Fritz without any doubt, and I will take a little risk with him in Paris, but hoping to catch a beautiful and very valuable coefficient. I believe he is ready to knock out the Joker tonight.

I believe that Djokovic is considered the heavy favorite today. He has reached the quarter-finals without facing any serious opponents, except for Mensik who I believe would have caused problems if he hadn't withdrawn from the tournament. Musetti has been playing well and has managed to defeat strong opponents. The high odds for Musetti are probably because he has never been an elite hard court player, but his game has greatly improved in these conditions. I think this match is 50/50, and if it goes to five sets, Musetti seems more prepared to play such matches, considering Djokovic's age as well.

I saw the entire Pegula match. It was not her victory, but Keys' defeat, where her failure and negative emotions helped her to end it herself, and Pegula was left to just represent. The same will not happen with Anisimova.

ITF in Fujairah, on a hard surface..

WTA Manila, hard.

WTA Manila, hard court.

The extremely poor form and difficulty in scoring goals does not give hope that Liverpool can crush the Qarabag team. Pre-season betting would have been very different, but Qarabag's impressive performance in the Champions League this season, not losing by more than 3 goals, makes it unlikely that Liverpool can change this statistical anomaly. Only managing to score 4 or more goals in a game once this entire season, Liverpool does not appear to be the strong favorite today.

With such poor form, Monaco shouldn't even stand a chance against Juventus. Monaco, looking very weak, will face a strong Juventus team, which has only lost twice in their last 19 matches. Juventus looks very good and when you see how the French play, it's worth choosing Juve.

Perhaps not the strongest, but solid Italian team Atalanta is known for their stability and good gameplay. Their opponent is easily overcome and realistically has no chance of advancing to the next stage. Showing one of the worst defenses in the Champions League, Royale club is a fairly strong underdog in this match and I believe Atalanta will need to prove their superiority.
