The last draw of the Belgian championship was completed ahead of schedule due to the pandemic, which partially played in favor of the buffaloes. At the time of the forced pause in the tournament, they were in second place. This line remained with them throughout the campaign and provided a chance to play in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League. To break into the group of the main European Cup tournament is the main goal of the team at the beginning of the season. There are chances for this, but so far “Gent” does not look its best. In the national championship, the team played six matches, but scored only six points. The Buffaloes have achieved two victories and four defeats. In the last qualifying round of the Champions League, the Gent players dealt with the Austrian Rapid, beating them 2:1.
It looks like Karlovic is not going to end his career. The 41-year-old Croat flew out of the top 100 and now occupies 131-st place. This allows him to play on different challengers and take part in qualifiers for the Majors. Ivo made the first step to the main grid. In the previous match he left no chances for Noah Rubin (7-6, 6-4). It should be noted that over the past six years Karlovic has necessarily played in the main draw of the French Open. In 2019 he even beat Feliciano Lopez here, but lost to Jordan Thompson in the second round. More today’s tennis predictions can be obtained from the link provided.
