The Spaniard came to a tournament in London for a title that is not yet in his collection. Rafa was ready to fight for the first place in the group, but after two matches he had to count on getting out of the second line, as he lost in the last meeting. The second racket of the world began the competition with a confident victory over Andrei Rublev, who passed in the class (6:3, 6:4). For the second fight Nadal also came out in the status of a favorite, but Dominic Thiem was a tough nut to crack. We saw two tie-breaks, during which the 34-year-old tennis player simply could not put the squeeze on his opponent, although there were opportunities (6:7, 6:7). Now Raphael will have to fight against last year’s winner Stefanos Tsitsipas and he is also aiming for a positive result, so we expect to see a real battle.
Before the start of the League of Nations, the Danish national team was not considered a contender for the playoffs, but contrary to all forecasts Kasper Hjulmand’s team is fighting for leadership until the last round. While the Danes are the second in the group, Belgium are losing only two points. A victory in a face-to-face meeting guarantees the Danes an exit to the playoffs. In the last round Denmark beat Iceland with a score 2:1 for their fifth win in a row. More scientific soccer prediction can be obtained from the link provided.
