The peer continues to fall and so far there is no end in sight. The Frenchman has won only two matches this season. He lost the other 17 matches. He won his last victory two months ago, when in the first round of Madrid he beat Nikoloz Basilashvili (6-4, 7-5). It is worth noting that Benoit also won his second victory on clay. At the beginning of the year in Cordoba, he outplayed Nicholas Harry (6-2, 6-4). It is not for nothing that this coating is considered the most convenient for him. Peer’s last match was against Diego Schwartzman at Wimbledon. He lost this meeting with a score of 3-6, 4-6, 0-6.
The Spanish national team was also not in the strongest group, but unlike their current rival, the team of Luis Enrique got out of there with adventures. Already in the first round the Spaniards ran into the Swedish wall and failed to score, after which they painted a 1:1 draw with Poland. The 5:0 defeat of Slovakia helped to get out of the group, but only from the second line. In the 1/8 finals Spain started with a conceded goal. Pedri sent the ball into their own net. Croatia did not impress with anything until a certain moment and the red fury scored three goals until the 75th minute, but eventually managed to let the checkers win back. In extra time the Spaniards added again and scored two goals, this time managing to maintain the advantage until the final whistle. In the quarterfinal match with Switzerland, Spain opened the scoring early and generally controlled the course of the match. However, a silly mistake out of the blue by two central defenders helped the Swiss to win back. It came to a penalty shootout, where the Spaniards were more fortunate. The lottery brought them to the semifinals.
