Before Wimbledon, Nishikori took part in only one tournament on the grass. In the German city of Halle, he had two fights. In one of them the Japanese managed to beat Ricardas Berankis (6-3, 2-6, 6-2), but already in the second he was defeated by Sebastian Korda (6-2, 3-6, 5-7). Despite the fact that it is difficult for Kay to play on the grass, he has been showing great play at Wimbledon lately. In 2018 and 2019 he reached the quarterfinals here. For example, in the last match he was stopped only by Roger Federer. Now the Japanese is not averse to repeating his achievement.
The Ukrainian national team became one of four teams who managed to get into the playoffs from third place in the group. Andriy Shevchenko’s team managed to reach the 1/8 finals of the Euro with three points and a negative goal difference, demonstrating an unconvincing game at the tournament. The national team played their first match at Euro quite well, but the team did not have enough strength to keep a draw and they lost 2:3 to the Netherlands. This was followed by a nervous game and a final 2:1 victory over North Macedonia. And in the final round against Austria, the early goal of opponents did not mobilize the Ukrainians, who desperately needed not to lose and became the only one in the fight. As a result, they ended in a 0:1 defeat and passage to the next stage thanks to the best additional indicators. So, what is the prediction for a football match?
