I missed this match and judging by the score, Fritz was only able to provide resistance in certain areas but Djokovic controlled the entire match.
Speaking of the curse, it looks like Andrey Rublev is the player who will try to break his poor results in the Grand Slam quarterfinals, This is the 9th quarterfinal for him, and failed 8 times to advance further to the semifinals, against Medvedev his compatriot certainly won't be easy for him because Medvedev is in Hard courts are tough players to beat, but it will hurt a lot if Andrey Rublev lose for the ninth time in a Grand Slam quarterfinal.
Frances Tiafoe vs Ben Shelton, an interesting match and very likely to be a long match of up to five sets, Shelton used his fast serve to get a lot of points, but Tiafoe managed to come back after the first set and in the third set he had the opportunity to take it so he would lead 2-1
Novak Djokovic again get into the semi final by beating the Taylor Fritz by the sets 6-1,6-4,6-4.Many people thought Fritz going to beat the Djokovic in this quater final,but with the unexpected way Djokovic made the history today.If Djokovic made the sets like this in the upcoming semifinal,no doubt he will be the title winner.By this Djokovic had break the record of Roger Federer by 47 Grand Slam semifinal. The match of Andrey Rublev also unexpected one,he never had his luck in the quarter final and not able to get into the semifinal in the series of years.The reason behind this match was totally the opponent Medvedev today.Rublev not had luck for the ninth time was the hard for his fan.The fans of Rublev will break his record of continuous loss.But again his bad luck play the major role. Djokovic knows how to play against Fritz,before the us open he defeated him easily and again now he destroyed him again and is just for him an easy opponent. Djokovic has an easy way to the final and i think he will probobly win the us open as how good he is playing. |

In the second half, Bayern Munich had a simple game plan. Attack and keep attacking until you score enough goals to win the match. In the end, Bayern Munich was able to win the match by 2-1. This keeps them at the top of the scoreboard right after Bayern Leverkusen.
At the end, Bayern Munich won over Gladbach and keep compete as Bundesliga teams with winning three matches with Bayern Leverkusen, not easy for Bayern Munich against Gladbach because have conceded early and late goals from Mathys Tel success help Bayern Munich with three points achievement. Leverkusen keep lead top standing awhile because they have more goals productivity than Bayern Munich, last three matches Leverkusen success scored 11 goals and bayern Munich scored 9 goals. Harry Kane not scoring goals in this match against Gladbach and I think he needs consistency scoring goals if want get chance become top scorer in Bundesliga. Bayern Munich always struggled when they played against Borussia,especially when they played in an away game. But finally they broke them in the second half and broke the bad luck against them. Bayern with this win continues to fight hard with Leverkusen and i think these two teams will fight really hard for the title. |

Continuation of matches in the Saudi Pro League today we have 2 favorite teams in the schedule Al-Fateh vs Al-Ahli and Al-Hazm vs Al-Nassr
Al-Nassr played the main squad and as we expected they were ahead in the first half 2-0 for Al-Nassr but Ronaldo was not the one who scored
Sadio Mane actually managed to score one goal but it was canceled by VAR but it doesn't matter Al-Nassr is still ahead 2 golas.
In other matches, Al-Ahli played away and so far they have draw 1-1 in the first half, Al-Ahli dominated the match but Firmino efforts still failed so far
Al-Ahli still has time to secure 3 points and I remember a few times Al-Ahli scored in the last minute so will they do it again today?
We know Al-Ahli is ambitioned to take over the standings but if only with 1 point is clearly not enough so win is the main target.
Al Nassr easily secure the win tonight and leads 1-4 with 15 minutes to go. I think they can score 1-2 more goals. But for Al Ahli things are looking really bad with them losing 2-1,they have possesion but the home team just parked the bus and aint moving ,the ball just cannot go through. 15 mins to go Al Ahli needs a goal fast |

Alcaraz vs Evans the total line is set at 28.5 , i prefer the under 29.5 for some extra safety That leaves us needing Evans 11 games or under in 3 sets, he has won 7 and 4 games in their past H2H (2 sets matches) and i really doubt he gives alcaraz any sort of trouble today My best US open bet for today  I also do not believe that Evans is actually going to be giving Alcaraz any kind of problem. It is a match between the number one and the number 26. So of course everyone is going to expect Alcaraz to win. But I am not going to be surprised if Evans is actually able to take one set. However, I don’t expect anything more from him, to be honest. Sinner is playing a great tournament, I feel he'll walk over Wawrinka. I see it as a clean 3-0 but I won't be betting on it - Wawrinka is a great player but simply lacks stamina to keep that high level.
Sinner is definitely not going to face too much problems against Wawrinka. Sinner is just a better player, he’s also in good form right now. He is in such confidence that he is probably not going to even lose one set. Wawrinka even though is a decent player, he probably is not good enough to win this match.
Đoković showed his mental stamina once again, the guy is like a robot. Djere was 2-0 up and basically didn't stand a chance.
His next opponent is Borna Gojo, I think I'll play whatever handicap the bookies give me here.
I'm looking forward to Alcaraz tonight, I feel he might struggle against Evans a bit as well.
A great comeback from Novak Djokovic. It almost looks like he was definitely going to lose this match against Djere. But he made a great comeback and successfully won the next three sets. Even though we know that he is capable of doing such things, it was still a very unbelievable performance from him. He will be playing against Gojo in the next match. I believe he’s going to win this one as well. Djokovic with another epic comeback,this is starting to be normal from him. He is probobly tired from this match and will need to rest a lot so he can be fit for the finish of the tournament. Good thing that Djokovic is playing against Gojo that isnt strong and if he wins against him in straight sets he might be fit for the finish of the tournament |

Kane needs to continue to impress Bayern and its star, if not, they will regret the signing just like Sadio Mane and will be looking for an urgent replacement. As much as I do not want this to happen, the will and ability alone will not do it, let good fate follow him to pitch. Personally, I don't believe Kane will do much for Bayern in the long run, he will only try his best but needs more supporting strikers. I keep watching how the situation unfolds. But I see nothing so much with the Monchengladbach vs. Bayern match but if Bayern will not easily win this game or lose, then it will be a good reason to suspect that something is wrong.
The match against Monchengladbach will be a moment for Bayern Munchen to top the standings, regardless of the H2H meeting between the two, I'm sure Munchen can secure full points. Kane will be decisive in this match, and he has the potential to become the top scorer at the end of the season. The match has started, let's see if Thomas Tuchel squad can dominate the game and come out victorious. Undoubtedly, the best team in the Bundesliga is Bayern Munich. This team is in very good form now. Even so, I don't consider the Munich team to be favorites against Gladbach. Gladbach is a mediocre team. The team is yet to win this season. But Gladbach always perform well against Bayern Munich. Munich has not won the last 6 matches between these two teams. Out of these 6 matches, Gladbach won 4 matches and Munich drew 2 matches. And so I find it unlikely that Munich will win today against Gladbach. My guess is either Gladbach will win or both teams will share the points in today's match. Borussia again leading against Bayern Munich. I was thinking this was gonna be an easy win for Bayern but yet again Borussia is making troubles. They lost easily against Leverkusen but now they have a chance to win against Bayern. Bayern always struggling against Borussia especially when they are playing away and now when losing 1-0 its just a question if they will be able even to draw the game even |

Ancelotti will overhaul his formation in the second half, possession is still on Madrid side. I am optimistic that Madrid can turn things around, so they can secure three points at home. I predict Bellingham will save Madrid with his goal, Kross has the potential to come in to replace Tchouameni.
There is still one more round for Ancelotti squad to prove its quality, Getafe will not be able to survive. Getafe played first half good but it looks like Ancelotti made a great pep talk. Real Madrid started second half pretty fast and go for a result. There are too many positions to be reviewed, VAR did an extra work today, that was interesting. The game looks like Getafe can't resist anymore and Real Madrid will find the winning goal. I expect over 3.5 goals now. The score is 1-1 and we will see at least two more goals. Another side note is that Joselu scored his first goal in Real Madrid jersey after 12 years.  Real Madrid will do everything possible to ensure they win this game,they've been able to get an equaliser after being down to a goal,but they still need to get their backline is solid enough to stand any counter attack by Getafe because that is what they are waiting for,they know very well they can't stand their attacking force,so all they need do is to sit back and wait for a possible counter. Nevertheless,with the way Madrid are pressuring them,I think they might still grab a late goal to get the win. Games are becoming hard for big teams to win this season despite the fact the odds given to them are very little,they still find it difficult to win with those odds. Unfortunately Real Madrid hasn't been able to get another goal after scoring the equalizing goal by Joselu in the 47th minutes, the time is almost over and the Getafe players are waiting to celebrate because they fought hard to make sure they don't concede a second goal in the match and their hard work wasn't in vain because they goat a point at the home ground of Real Madrid. I don't think the match was very difficult for Real Madrid rather the injury crisis in the team made it impossible for them not to score more goals but their performance wasn't really bad especially in the second half where they dominated the game more despite not winning the match and not scoring more goals but they made good goal attempt but the Getafe goal keeper made good saves to deny them the win. Bellingham has done it again for Real Madrid and given them a breakthrough in the match and gave Real Madrid all three points on the 94th minutes of the extra time. What a wonderful youngster Ancelotti got. He is always at the right place at the right time. Real Madrid was really finding it difficult to score another goal and they lost almost eight chances which they could have scored enough goals. Getafe tried their best to calm the pressure mounted on them by Real Madrid, which they tried their best,until the 94th minutes when the 20yrs old newly signed scored the second goal to give the victory to his club. Bellingham has scored five goals in four matches,what a good start to compete for the highest goal scorer this season. Real Madrid 2-1 Getafe. He looks like he is 30 years old and full of experience. Probobly one of the biggest transfers signings since Ronaldo. He scored yet again in the last minute of the game to win Real Madrid the game. Real Madrid was able to score barely in the end and are still undefeated in the league. |

 SourceThere are some powerful clubs that may be potentially winning the competition now and it's liverpool, leverkusen and westham. We have also brighton which can also become a potential candidate. The list is not completed yet caused by the losers in the UCL group stage will be going to the europa league. Liverpool had the bigger chance of winning this competition, but my focus was also going to the westham. The competition is really serious this season,each year the tournament is harder and harder plus when top clubs drop from champions league thats when it becomes intresting. I think Liverpool is the favorite to win but we seen in last couple of years being the favorite dosent mean anything in the europe league. |

Yes, I agree with you since there are a few teams who are currently playing well. If these top teams can maintain their current form, I think it will be very difficult to predict which club will win the league till the end of the season . Since AC Milan has won its first three games, we anticipate similar results from other top clubs like Napoli, Inter Milan, and Juventus.
To be honest, AC Milan started this season very well. Their performance is also getting better and stronger. Their motivation looks quite high with consecutive wins at the start of this season. It just depends on their future consistency. The match against Roma this time was quite tense, but Milan managed to beat Roma with a score of 1-2, which was very good. The competition at the top standing is currently getting more and more interesting. And Juventus may have started to join the party and don't want to be left behind like last season. Milan for me is the favorite to win the league. They are looking really good and have kept o most an entire team from last season and when Giroud and Leao play togheter they o most always win. Roma at home is good but just wasnt good enough to at least draw against Milan. Juventus aint good and they have good players but just arent playing good at all. |

For me its insane how Serbia dropped the win against Italy and complicated the group . Bogdanovic wasnt in the zone at all and couldnt hit a three at all and that made the difference. Serbia could have finished them when they had a momentum in the third quarter and ended up losing a won game. I think they will pass the group but it made things complicated a lot now.

Now Dortmund has many things for which they can do a lot, with this signing, I think they can do things in a more special and much bigger way, Dortmund is aiming to give it their all to win the Budneslifga this time, they have already been told note that they are not even a bit afraid of Bayern.
They have and got already the things in the past for can making big things , even they lost a few good players in the transfer period this time, i guess its possible that they can show there true face now , but they need to start it today against Heidenheim with a win and hopefully many scored goals. Dortmund is not afraid about Bayern Munich. Fingers crossed that Niclas Füllkrug will get a few Minutes to play and maybe score a goal for his new Team. Fullkrug are in the reserve for the match. Borussia Dortmund has a 2-0 advantage as the first 25 minutes are over. We can see a lot of goals in this match. Dortmund is too strong for its rival. Heidenheim is very weak against them. I don't think Dortmund will fail to win this match after going 2-0 up in just 15 minutes. A completely unexpected result was for me. I bet on dortmund to win this match. The match was drawn 2-2. I wouldn't say that dortmund played badly. Their performance was average. They can't play very well either. The players of the team attacked a lot, but due to the lack of experienced strikers in the squad, I expected a better performance from haller. But his performance was very poor. Heidenheim is a weak team. They have lost points in their last two matches. But today they managed to get points against a big team like dortmund. This will boost the confidence of heidenheim's players. Dortmund is really bad this year i think they still feel the effect from last season when they didnt win the title. They cannot hold 2-0 against a team that just joined the league and that isnt that good. Plus on home pitch so i think they need to change something really fast if they want to get some good results. |

In the first half hour, neither team could score. Although West Ham is still the dominant team in the match, it seems that I no longer expect a multi-goal win. If there was a chance to win with plenty of goals, they would have scored by now. However, a clearer interpretation can be made after the first half is behind.
The first half has ended and West Ham is already winning 1-0 against Luton Town. The match is kind of interesting and tough for the two clubs. I was expecting the match to be an easy win for West Ham, but as we can see, they are winning, but the match is not really easy for West Ham. There is improvement in Luton Town's performance in the match. I was expecting more than one goal from West Ham in the first half of the match, but they could only score one goal in the match. West Ham shouldn't relent, they should try and score more goals in the second half of the match. I wont be surprised if Luton Town score in the second half of the match. Rough first half for both clubs but i think that Luton could have scored at least one goal from the corner. They were so close a couple of times but just wouldnt go into the net. West ham punished them and i think the goalkeeper could have done better. I expect at least two more goals in the second half from this match. |

I almost forgot there was a big game today and I really wanted to bet on this game. It seems that it will be very difficult for anyone to predict which team will win this match and as you said the betting options for both teams to score goals or over goals are the most reasonable bets. If we look at the difference in odds in normal times, it is very risky because the two teams are mutually favored to win and it is possible that the match could end in a draw. Even though statistically Al-Hilal is quite strong for Al-Ittihad, the big match at the start of this season still raises question marks. So I would prefer the option of betting both teams to score goals because it is unlikely that one of these teams will only focus on defending for 90 minutes.  The line-up has been released it seems both teams are playing the mainstay squad I remind you that Al Hilal has a new goalkeeper Bono played as a starter We don't know whether Al Ittihad was able to destroy Al Hilal's defense so be careful betting on both teams scoring each other there may be a risk but if you are confident enough why not behind the risk there must be an opportunity too. Al hilal only missing Neymar so far in their squad to be complete. I think even without him they are the best team by far in the league and im expecting an easy win by them today. For al ittihad its good that Benzema isnt injured and hopefully he starts playing like he did in Real Madrid |

 This season, Real Madrid seems to have a smooth road to qualify for the round of 16 even though Napoli can really be a threat to reduce points gain in the group stage. I am optimistic that Real Madrid will lead the standings despite facing a difficult opponent, but it is not a big challenge. It is certain that Real Madrid will qualify from the Group stage with the status of Group Champion because of the names of the teams in Group C the draw results are not very reliable except for Napoli. In my opinion, Napoli is not a serious challenge for Real Madrid in Group C because this season Napoli is not what it was shown last season in the domestic league. I'm not looking down on Braga and Union Berlin, but I'm sure these two teams are not suitable opponents for Real Madrid let alone to make our plans fail this season.
We don't mean to underestimate them, but in reality their quality is below Real Madrid and Napoli even though in football matches unexpected things can happen. Like you, I am also optimistic that Real Madrid will be accompanied by Napoli to qualify from the group stage. There was one group that made one of the fans of the team in that group cheer with joy because the results of the UEFA Champions League 23/24 draw, their team was in a group filled with teams that were considered weak and they were optimistic that their team would easily qualify from the round. group stage. I don't want to say the name of the team. You definitely know. Everybody is thinking that this group is gonna be really easy for Real Madrid and Napoli,but it wont be,Union Berlin is playing some amazing football with some big signings ,while Braga is playing really attacking style that results in a lot of goals and no body will beat them easily. So i think this group will be really close. |

These 17-32 placement games is such pointless thing. I know that teams that fighting for spot in Olympics, but most of games is just unwatchable. I'm sure that teams like France want that tournament would end faster for them, but their humiliation continues.
Finally fun things begins. Can't wait to watch Lithuania - Greece game. I'm a bit surprised that we are quite heavy favorites against Greece, but probably it's logical, we won our games by 25 points in average, including against quite solid Montenegro team. While Greece, ok, don't look at thei game with USA, but they struggled a lot against weak New Zeland. In general, it's do or die game for both team.
In other games we have very clear favorites, but IMO Latvia (vs Spain) and Slovenia (against Australia) is understimated a bit too much.
Well i honestly dont know why fiba made this kind of competition,it would be better like in football if you get knocked out in the group you go home. The only games that are intresting in these kind of matches are those that are fighting for the olympic games,still those teams are really weak so i dont think they can do anything big in the olympic games aswell. |

I was just watching the match of Hurkacz vs Draper. After the Cincinnati Masters match against Alcaraz his play have grabbed my attention. In the first round he played against Huesler and won the match after losing the first two sets. Now in the second round similar kind of game as the first round is happening. Hurkacz have lost the first two sets against Draper and now third set is going on.
Edit: This time Hurkacz have lost the match 6-2 6-4 7-5
Yes, Hubi is not in great form in New York. Watching Murray v Dimitrov atm. Things are not looking good for Andy: Grigor is up a set and 2:1 in the second. Andy lost the first set 3:6. Let's see how this one's going to play out. Nope, thats Andy out! ah I kind of knew that was on the cards with an opponent as good as Dimitrov. Following on from my post about Sinner v Sonego but it was a win in 3 straight sets for Sinner as expected. Berrettini gave Rinderknech a walkover after 2 sets, not good news for Berrettini with this new injury and is not very lucky. Dimitrov just destroyed Murray. Murray started finding form before but now he losses again on the bigger tournaments. While Dimitrov is playing nice always comes to quarters or reaches something more. Too bad for Berrettini i was thinking he was gonna go far but just dosent have luck with those injuries |

Newcastle United get in a toughest group but it is more than a nightmare for them. They did not expect to be in such group. PSG, Dortmund, Milan and Newcastle United will have to beat each other to get only two tickets to go next.
Newcastle are now in a high guts test group of teams that will face big teams but of you might underestimate it? For me, no. See later Newcastle can bring a more interesting game even Milan can not move when meeting each other. Just an assumption, but now I like Newcastle's game. Maybe this is what is expected, but who says it will be eliminated soon because they have a great and solid squad now in the hands of Eddie Howe. Prove that Newcastle can move on from this group. What's interesting for group F is that they are strong teams there like AC milan, Dortmund, PSG and Newcastle United. But for Newcastle United, it's like falling into the hell group in the Champions League this season because Newcastle United are directly faced with big teams from other leagues, which makes them have to try their best to be able to win every game they play. In addition, Tonali will again face Ac milan in the Champions League this season. As we see it is a big reunion after he left Ac milan in this season's transfer window. I believe ac milan fans will welcome him well when he arrives in another jersey at the san siro stadium. The teams in this group are for me evenly matched. Probobly the toughest group this season in the champions league. Newcastle is the main favorite to pass the group from my side of view. PSG will struggle a lot this season and will fight hard for that second place in the group. Milan also is looking solid so i think they have a slight chance to do something. |

Feels like Haaland will be able to score 100 goals in the group stages with that draw. The fact that latest champions has one of the weakest groups does make it fun to watch those games. I am not sure if we will even be allowed to bet on their games, like that one team with difficult to say name, whoever they are, City may end up beating them with like 5+ goals if they want to, we all know they probably won't because they try to score and get ahead with a few goals and then lay back, but they are capable of it at least.
One thing I need to make sure is that we should not be really considering this situation to be any different, it is really not that big of a deal, I will just bet on over/under for their games instead.
Man City has an easy group and i think they will pass it easily. Haaland has a perfect chance to score against some really weak teams. I think he might score 8+ goals in the group faze. This might be really his year to score 15+ goals at least in the champions league this year. |

I don't know what you think about it but I already see Fenerbahce as one of the title contenders for the Conference League.
Because the squad they have built this summer is really impressive. They were having issues with their goalkeeper but they have most probably solved this issue as well by signing Livakovic finally. You know Livakovic from the previous World Cup. He was one of the fascinating goalkeepers together with Bono.
The performance Fenerbahce have shown so far is also incredible. If they keep this up they can reach a very high level in the tournament.
Fenerbahce won the Twente match comfortably by avoiding aggression and playing a controlled game. In my opinion the most important shortcoming of Fenerbahce in this match was not being able to play the ball on the opponent's court. The ineffectiveness of Tadic and Cengiz may have affected this situation. Thanks to King's individual effort the last minutes were much more comfortable. Individually, Becao put in a top notch performance, but he couldn't show the same skill in team play. Overall there was a good cohesion in the team. I think the biggest shortcoming of Fenerbahce is the defensive midfield. If Fenerbahce makes the necessary reinforcements to the team it will be the most assertive team in the Conference League this year. Fenerbahce could have scored a lot more goals but they were comfy with 0-1 that was enough for them. They were lucky that they didnt get a red card in the first half after a couple of big mistakes by some players. Also expected a lot of goals but the duel was already finished in the first match |

PSG have been top of Ligue 1 for a while now and automatically qualify for the Champions League group stage. They had the best players in their squad - Messi, Neymar, Mbappe. With such a squad they couldn't win the Champions League. As for Manchester City, they won for the first time last year, before that they had bad seasons like PSG. Now they need to try to confirm the title.
PSG this season no longer has Messi and Neymar in its squad and of course, although PSG will still play in the Champions League this season. But still, it will be difficult for PSG to reach the Champions League final, in fact I believe PSG will probably only reach the last 16 or maybe only reach the quarter-finals. Because after all, the quality of PSG and Manchester City is clearly very different, and you cannot equate their quality. Anyway, even though Manchester City just won the Champions League title last season. But in reality, Manchester City has had high consistency in reaching the semifinals and finals in the Champions League in the previous few seasons as well. Obviously that's very different from PSG, who still don't have the ability to go further in the Champions League every season. PSG this season is really bad and without Neymar and Messi i think they cannot expect to win the trophy. Plus with the Mbappe situation things arent looking bright and i dont even see them winning the french league let alone the champions league this season. |

In my opinion, Galatasaray, Young Boys, Copenhagen, PSV Eindhoven, Antwerp and Braga will pass.
So I was right at the end and all of these teams qualified to the next stage PSV particularly punished Rangers badly in Netherlands after their draw in Scotland, that was the largest victory in this round with 5 - 1. Tomorrow will be held the draw for Champions League groups and the first matchday will be played in September 19 and 20. Psv was just by a class better then Rangers,in first game they werent lucky but in second game they destroyed Rangers. I think that PSV will be really good in the champions league and i think they will pass the group faze and will be in the knockout faze for sure if they play like this. |
