In 2021 a significant event took place for Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova. For the first time in her career, the 29-year-old tennis player managed to make her way to the semifinals of the Grand Slam tournament and has every chance of competing for the title. Recall that Anastasia had the quarterfinals of the majors on her account, but it was not possible to advance further until this year. The 2021 season was unsuccessful for Pavlyuchenkova at the start. Only in May she issued the first truly successful tournament, marking her exit to the semifinals in Madrid. Then the tournament path of the Russian woman was interrupted after the defeat to Arina Sobolenko (2-6, 3-6). In Paris Anastasia played again against the representative of Belarus in the third round and managed to take revenge (6-4, 2-6, 6-0). After that success Pavlyuchenkova played two more three-set matches against difficult opponents Victoria Azarenka (5-7, 6-3, 6-2) and Elena Rybakina (6-7, 6-2, 9-7). In each of these fights the Russian woman won strong-willed victories after losing the starting games.
In March Uganda showed the same result as South Africa. They fought for access to the Africa Cup of Nations, but first drew with Burkina Faso with a score of 0:0 and then lost to Malawi 0:1. As a result, Uganda took third place and its rivals received the coveted tickets. It is worth noting that the team is very grassroots. So, in six matches of the qualifying tournament they scored three goals and conceded only two. So, what is the successful soccer prediction?
