We also have to consider that Doubles can be a great way to get "Match Fit" before playing
a singles match especially if your focus is on singles.
Fernandez played yesterday in doubles ahead of her singles match today! so in theory
she should be more ahead than having her first match today after a long-ish break.
For example Raducanu is also playing today, its her first competitive match since the U.S Open
I liked your point, As there was quite a gap between the US Open and this Indian Wells tournament, playing a doubles match will be a good way to start the competitive games again. Fernandez's next singles match is against Alizé Cornet and I think that she should be able to win this match. In the very recent US Open she was outstanding throughout the tournament but ended up losing the finals to Emma Raducanu and I hope she will go a long way in the tournament. |

In the end the last race worked out quite well and lucky for verstappen. He started from the last position and finished second, he will be very happy with that and he got lucky that the rain set in a few laps before the race ended.
Let's see how lucky hamilton will be when he starts from the last position.
It's part luck of course, but also a large part is judgement, both personal and on the part of the team strategists. If a driver who is in the championship battle has to take a penalty and start from last place, a lot of thought will go into it to determine which is the best race do so... somewhere where overtaking is easy might be the logical choice. @Cnut237 luck and mentality these are two important things which Hamilton will need if he wants to finish in the first place. Also I believe he’ll give a tough fight and this will make this race even more interesting to watch, but I won’t be too much disappointed if he doesn’t wins it. Starting last and winning the race is no easy task. With that said, I feel like Hamilton would be the person who can achieve that. We saw that Max did that last race, he got a new engine and started last but to my surprise, he finished 2nd. And if Max is able to do that, Hamilton should also be able to do that or at least finish in the top 3. |

While sometimes the boxing organizations can get in the way of big fights I do not think this is the case here, there were a lot of talks about Casimero vs Inoue but since there was nothing solid the WBO stepped in and forced Casimero to fight Butler, I am sure that if evidence could be shown by Casimero or Inoue that an agreement was close to happen the WBO would have withdrawn the order and would let boxing fans watch the fight we wanted.
Same here, if both camps have that contract, the organization would not go and ask for this mandatory fight. But there's none and since Casimero is still under them, this mandatory fight against Butler has been setup. More on money making to me and also another good drama to hype Casimiro's name. If he does wins this fight, Arum may see good money with the fans who show an interest in this fight. For now, there's nothing more but to wait till this fight happened and see who will win. Good luck to all anyway  I don't know if they can show the proof of the contract or not, if they can, that would be good but if they are unable to do that, Casimero has to fight Butler because as he is under WBO he has to do what he is commanded to do. But I think the organization is aware of what the fans want, they surely know that we want a Casimero vs Inoue match, don't know why they are not hosting one. |

I know Barcelona have not really been good form this season,may be due to the injuries with the key players,they have shown weakness in almost all the games they play,but it's unlike Barcelona who will defeat any team that comes their way.
But this encounter is really going to be one that they will want to win by all means.Valencia as well is a big team team that will surely trouble Barcelona,but I rather give a the both teams to score and a draw at the end.
But I just hope Key Barcelona players will be fit to play that game.
I heard the news that Aguero and Ansu are fit to play, if that is true, Barca will regain its strength in the attack and hope they will be able to score, which they have not been able to do for the last 2 matches. Aguero could solve a lot of Barcelona's scoring problems, they have been looking for that regular scorer after Messi left and Aguero fell into injuries after he came. |

Raheem Sterling is a pretty good player for Barcelona but the value of the salary that Sterling is asking for will not make Barcelona able to pay for this player plus the transfer price is very high. At the moment Barcelona are facing a fairly severe financial crisis and many players had to be released last season I think it was very difficult for Barcelona to get Sterling's sign. I think Barcelona will take and looking for great player who have expired contract with his previous team because can help their financial. Considering the market value of Sterling and his wage amount, I highly doubt that Barcelona can afford him right now. Maybe after a season or two, but right now the deal seems unlikely to happen. Although this season he has had a slow start but last season he got 10 goals and 7 assists in 31 games for City, not to mention the chances he created every match. Sterling is still an important piece for City and they should not let go of him for a small fee. |

Could be, But people give more priority to security, they do not skimp on paying more to keep their assets secured. Bitcoin blockchain is much more secure and vastly used than ethereum chain. It's true that Ethereum SmartContract has given birth to many applications but now the binance chain is taking over that market. But the dominancy of Bitcoin is unbeatable, there is no one equivalent/competitive to it.

Bitcoin better than fiat in all aspects do you know why now that inflation is increasing the price of bitcoin is also increasing massively but if your money is in fiat, the way inflation is increasing your fiat is stable. So maybe if you plan on buy goods worth 100$ and maybe you are yet to buy the goods after few days the price might have increased to 110$ if you are holding fiat your money will be stable and you will have to add money to get the goods but if your money is in bitcoin the way the price of goods are increasing bitcoin price is also increasing.
In all aspects? I dont think so because even lots hadnt really like that non-reversible thing but there are still people whom do much prefer on being centralized which does simply means that Fiat does still really have relevance no matter what. Lots had been telling about the goodness of bitcoin and criticizing fiat but we should realize on how useful it is on most transactions that we are doing on day to day basis.Why would need to have some competition if both could exist and make use depending or according into your needs? Exactly, Holding Bitcoin is profitable but it is not good in all aspects, as Fatunad mentioned that Bitcoin is irreversible, as a human being you can do mistakes at any time, so using the irreversible property globally is really too risky. If you send funds to someone mistakenly then there is no chance to recover your funds or seize that account. For doing banking activity we must have to use a reversible asset like fiat or something like that. we need to use both bitcoin and fiat in our daily life, and Bitcoin is better than Fiat in various aspects but not all aspects. |

Celtic 3 - 4 Real Betis
Real Betis's gameplay is excellent to me. They scored the first goal in the 32nd minute, and they scored the second goal in the 34th minute. Before the opponent could properly organize themselves. And is able to score one more goal. In the second half They scored their third goal in the 50th minute. And similarly, they scored the fourth goal in the 53rd minute before the opponent was formed. Real Betis played great in this match. |

What are the principal technical skills a bitcoin lover needs to have if I want to buy a large amount of Bitcoin and hold it for long-term purposes?
If you don't have enough knowledge then you have to keep various precautions, 1st one is you need "don't talk with any unknown person via social media" most of the extraneous could be an imposter. If you want to hold a vast amount of bitcoin then 2nd one is you need to buy a hardware wallet, generate seeds and address by using HW wallet and print that on a piece of paper or metal, make some copy, and keep your copy in any fireproof & waterproof locker. you can use any watch-only wallet and import the btc address as watch-only to make it easy to use. It could be the safest way to hold your coin securely. |

In football you need balance. You can't have only attackers or defenders in your team. You need both. If you have a strong attack but a weak defense, it can lead to defeat against a strong team. But good defenders are quite expensive. But I think that Real Madrid will buy not only Mbappe and Holland next year, but also a defender in the center of defense. In addition, they need another midfielder to replace Modric. He is 36 years old and needs to be replaced, no matter how well he plays.
I agree with you. Only taking star players in the team’s forward lineup, though, will make the team feel stronger. And you can easily win against weaker teams, you can score a lot of goals. But the team will not be strong. It is difficult to maintain the winning streak of such a team. Therefore, the team's forward, midfield and defense should increase the strength in all three places. Experienced players are needed in all three places. |

Lukaku wouldn't be able to fit in everywhere if you ask me, there are teams with much different play styles, like in Liverpool Lukaku wouldn't be this great at all. However that doesn't mean that Lukaku is bad nor Liverpool is bad, they are just not perfect fit. Chelsea avoided that and they are using Lukaku the way he should be used and that is why I believe that they are a perfect fit for each other.
Maybe you are right. Lukaku's style of play and Chelsea's strategy are probably almost the same. So Lukaku has easily adapted to the Chelsea team. He may not have been able to adapt so quickly if he was joining any La Liga team. We see the problem in the case of Messi. He has played for Barcelona for a long time. Now going to PSG, he is not able to perform as well as expected. Because, PSG's game strategy is unfamiliar to him. They will take time to adapt to the team. |

Chelsea is in good form and Lukaku has easily adapted to the team. On the other hand, Tottenham is not in a very good position now. Their performance against Crystal Palace was disgusting. Now if Heung Min Son can't perform against Chelsea in the next match then they will lose against Chelsea as well. Chelsea's defense is very strong. It will not be easy for Harry Kane alone to break through this defense and score a goal. If Min Son is in the team, maybe Tottenham will see a stable gameplay.
To be honest, Lukaku adapts easily everywhere, I noticed it a long time ago, whichever team he was in - he played well from the start. I really didn't like their game against Zenit, it was weak for Chelsea. They might well have led 3-0/4-0, but they ended up winning 1-0... As for Tottenham, the game will probably be more or less calm and equal in strength, and I'm more inclined towards a draw with a "both to score" option. Yeah, Lukaku and Ronaldo they are just great. They can adapt to any situation and with any team. I would say Chelsea played well against Zenit. This is a Champions League match, here they have to perform very carefully. If Chelsea was playing attacking, and If Chelsea had conceded a goal in a counter-attack, the match would have been drawn and Chelsea would have lost points. It felt good to me to win 1-0. |

How can a team like PSG be held to a draw by a team like Club Brugge?
No matter it's an away game for PSG, a rich team with a great squad on every front still can't win, that's an unacceptable joke. I don't understand what their fault is for not being able to win this match, whether it's because they are concerned with individual skills that make teamwork not formed properly or because of the wrong strategy applied. Very embarrassing I guess!
The power of PSG and Club Brugge is like heaven and earth. PSG should be able to bring home full points when they travel to Jan Breydel Stadium. Pochettino used a very good formation in this match, 4-3-3 is ideal for PSG, moreover their front line is filled by the world's best players, Neymar, Mbappe and Messi are a very scary trio for every opponent they face. But the reality is very far from what was expected, they only get 4 Shots On Target for 90 minutes of the match, while Club Brugge managed to create 6 Shots On Target. Although PSG was able to control ball possession up to 61%, but PSG front line was unable to create an additional goal until the long whistle sounded because Club Brugge defense was very strong. Although Mess-Neymar-Mbappe seemed to be very strong players, they were not very effective. Together they could not adapt themselves. In yesterday's match, I expected a better performance from Neymar. But he was almost inactive. However, this is the first match of these three players together. They need time to stabilize. Maybe they will play better in the next match. |

This weekend Tottenham vs Chelsea. After Totenham lost 3-0 to Crystal Palace were they able to beat Chelsea? It's hard to guess but I think Tottenham should be able to beat chelsea, chelsea have a busy schedule, they just finished playing against Zenit in the UCL. Although I think it's difficult there are still plenty of opportunities. A draw I think would be good enough for Tottenham. The key, they shouldbe kill Lukaku  I think it will be very difficult to stop the movement of Lukaku, Lukaku is a strong player but has agile movements, especially now Tottenham Hotspurs have not been able to playing Son Heung-min and Eric Dier due to injury and also Bergwijn who is still in doubt, considering the number of core players Tottenham Hotspur was injured, I really believe that Chelsea will be able to beat Tottenham Hotspur in that match, especially now that Chelsea are in an on fire condition after successfully defeating Zenit in the Champions League group phase. I don't think Tottenham can win the match, Chelsea are in-form, they have a squad depth in all the positions on the field, I don't know how Eric Dier will mark and curtsil Lukaku from scoring goals, while Tanganga is on suspension, Son is unavailable to create chances or spaces for Kane to score, Tottenham need to defend and counter attack if they choose to play attacking football all through, they will likely concede many goals that day, thus it's up to Nuno Espirito Santo to field a more defence minded formation though playing at White Hart Lane is an advantage to the host. Let's see how the perform at White Hart lane, the Chelsea team is in a good spirit not only winning games but they are keeping clean sheet like never before, scoring Chelsea from an open play is not easy with the tactics of Tuchel and the defensive force right now, Chelsea will definitely get over Tottenham to extend their good runs. Lukaku is not messing around either. Chelsea is in good form and Lukaku has easily adapted to the team. On the other hand, Tottenham is not in a very good position now. Their performance against Crystal Palace was disgusting. Now if Heung Min Son can't perform against Chelsea in the next match then they will lose against Chelsea as well. Chelsea's defense is very strong. It will not be easy for Harry Kane alone to break through this defense and score a goal. If Min Son is in the team, maybe Tottenham will see a stable gameplay. |

I realized Manchester United were only playing with 10 player, but United had taken the lead 1-0 and United should have made the most of their defence. If United don't change their strategy, United should still be able to make goals again, considering their opponent is a dark horse team in their group and should be, this is not a problem for the United squad. It's a surprise, even though it's only 10 players I don't think United will lose and it's a problem that Ole has to deal with immediately.
Should play with 10 players is not a problem for Manchester United, considering the opponents are Young Boys who incidentally play in a less competitive league. Moreover, the game is dominated by Young Boys, this is Manchester United worst game this season (IMO). In this match also became Cristiano Ronaldo first defeat with Manchester United after becoming a Manchester United player again   Image Source: Google First of all, we have to admit that Manchester United has performed very poorly. Manchester is a title-seeking team. The Young Boys are now a weaker team than they are. Maybe Manchester United played with 10 players, it had some effect on the match. But for this they will not be able to attack any in the second half? This is their failure. Young Boys players have made 19 shots, Manchester has only 2. So what is the benefit of spending more money to bring the world's best players to the team? |

I'm not sure if the Lakers will focus on 3 point shooting, I guess with the current lineup, they will take advantage of their size and they will bring the ball inside where the big 3 can drive. I know they have 3 point shooters too but are they consistent enough, or can be trusted to produce a good percentage of shot?
This season's Lakers are not a 3-point shooting team. Unfortunately they don't have a player who is an excellent 3-point shooter, like Klay, Curry, Korver and others. I believe in this Lakers team will be an experienced and technical team because they will have players with a lot of experience, for example, LeBron, Rondo, Howard, Ariza and Melo. This Lakers team looks like a box-to-box playing team. They do not have the 3 point scoring shooters. They can go for 3 points from time to time but constantly going for 3 point shooting is not the way they will play with this squad. They have the size advantage and also the experience factor. So shat I'm thinking about this team is they will go for more lay-up shots and more box-to-box plays. |

Chelsea managed to beat Aston Villa 3-0 at home. Two of the goals came from Romelu Lukaku. Liverpool beat Leeds United with 3 goals away. Bruno Fernandesten scored 4 goals in the top scorer, Romelu Lukaku scored 3 goals. Cristiano Ronaldo, who played his first game this week, scored 2 goals. I guess we will watch races in all lanes this year.
Chelsea, Liverpool, City and Manchester United I think are the clubs that will be competing for the title this year. Other clubs might be under them. Even though it was just the beginning they seemed to have shown their strength. Whoever is able to appear stable he will win the title. Moreover, this week's UCL group qualification has started, they will start a competition with a busy schedule. We can put Tottenham on the list of title hopefuls. However, they had a very poor performance against Crystal Palace in the previous match. I don’t know why all of a sudden they did it poorly! They played well enough in the first two matches. Hopefully Tottenham will be stable again when Min Son returns to the squad. |

Two matches will be held in today's super league. Gaziantep will play against Antalyaspor, and Alanyaspor will play against Giresunspor. The Giresunspor team is new, and not a very good team. Now they are in the 20th position in the points table. Antalyaspor and Gaziantep, on the other hand, are almost the same quality team, I think the match is likely to be a 1-1 draw. I will not bet on these matches. Because, the predictions in these matches are often not correct.
