ATP Rotterdam, hard court.. quarterfinals! The German pair, I believe, achieved the sweetest victory in this tournament. In a principled duel against their fellow countrymen, the brave boys... but in this prestigious event, the one-time pairing of Francisco C. and Lukas M. have more serious plans, considering that these boys are on a higher level in the doubles court and do not need to work as hard in this match. Portugal and Austria, this year, have some achievements, I would say they are in top form.

I don't expect that Barcelona will come to Madrid and only compete for the 3 points. They should be prepared to play disciplined football, as even a draw in this away game would be enough to secure their fate and move on to their home stadium. Atletico is currently in poor form and does not appear to be capable of offering a quality attack at this moment. When the offense is not working, their main weapon and option remains defense. Atletico is still the team that relies on strong defense in the most important matches.

Ostapenko is not particularly known for her stability, but her good winners and decent serves make her a favorite in the tournament. Cocciaretto Elisabetta - the Italian player has pleasantly surprised me with her game this season. I watched her first set yesterday, and she played better than Ostapenko's opponent, Osorio, so this match could be a serious competition. Plus, the windy conditions, especially during the day, could drive the Latvian player crazy and level the playing field. In any case, I believe that this match will not be prolonged, and whoever manages to impose their game conditions until midway through the first set will win in two sets.

Although Ostapenko has surprised with her stability lately, she is far from being a robot. When her serves are on point, she can be competitive, but that is not always the case, and that's when her opponents have a chance. The Italian had tough opponents during her period, so it would not be surprising if she gives Peru a hard time. Everything will depend on Ostapenko's emotions, as she often succumbs to them and makes mistakes at crucial moments. I strongly believe that the Italian can cause problems if she is in good form, but overall, I have more faith in Ostapenko's skill and experience in this matchup.

I am eagerly waiting for Clyburn's productive game today. Many people have fallen apart under the impression that Barca losing Punter will definitely require Clyburn to take on a full leading role in the attack, at least along with Shengelia whom it is not clear if he will play. Clyburn, after his injury, only scored 15 points in the Euroleague, but he did have two games with 14 points. Today, I think he should play above his average, as not only does Barca lack important players, but also the opponent, Paris team, is one of the highest scoring teams due to their fast-paced game, which is very favorable for the team's players from other teams. I believe we can expect around 20 points here from Will.

Anderlecht lost the first game at home and it was a surprise in my eyes. The team was better than Antwerp, with 23 shots taken, but lacked in quality, however, they controlled the game in terms of over/under, but conceded a goal in the first period of added time. Maybe Anderlecht's recent performance and form are not the best, but it does not reflect the team's capabilities. Especially since Antwerp themselves haven't been in better form lately.

The aging Barcos is playing worse as the season comes to an end, with Shengelia also on the sidelines and Punter out today. Paris, despite having many losses, can still play good games when they want to and is not a bad team. They recently beat Real Madrid and only lost by 2 points to Fenerbahce, showing initiative until the end. The odds for today's game are too high, taking all circumstances into account.

Kalinskaya looked strong against Svitolina, not giving her even the slightest chance to engage in rallies, she was able to catch all the balls. I think the odds against Muchova are too high, it should be maximum 2.2, but we are getting 2.7.

The last game before the all-star break and we need to try to catch Chad's attempt at a triple double, as the circumstances are favorable. CC is back in the top 5 of the updated MVP rankings, so against good teams, he needs to both score and excel in filling up the stat sheet to join the MVP conversation. Another thing, after the trades, important players Stewart and Duren have been suspended, so CC will have to step up on the court himself, which is not unfamiliar to him. Since last season, CC has had a number of series with double-digit numbers in the stat lines. The Pistons and Raptors are both known for their strong defenses, so there should be opportunities to grab rebounds in this game.

Punteris has been released, Satoransky missed local matches, Brizuela is unable and it is unclear if he will play. These players are now joined by Shengelia. Despite the return of players to Paris, there are no essential losses. Recently they have been fighting to the end and even losing, they manage to fit into such a handicap. Without key players, Barca loses a lot of attack, and it is especially needed against a team like Paris. Pascalis and the whole Barcelona team should slow down the game here, especially with their losses.

Punteris was injured, Brizuela missed a local match, it is unclear whether he will be able to play. In their place, Shengelia has joined the team. Paris has some players returning, but there are no major losses. Recently, they have been fighting until the end and even with a losing score, manage to stay within a small margin. Barcelona is without key players and have lost a significant amount of their offense, which is crucial when facing a strong opponent like Paris.

WTA Doha, hard"
is translated as "WTA Doha, hard court.

I believe that Panevėžys Lietkabelis can reach a limit of 77.5 points in this match. Although London Lions won the first meeting, the offense of the Panevėžys team has become faster and more diverse since then. Recently, Lietkabelis has consistently scored over 80+ points, while Lions on average allow over 81 points in the EuroCup tournament. In their current form, this limit seems achievable.
