Spurs took sixth place in the standings at the end of the last championship. It is unlikely that it corresponded to the ambitions of the club, because this position did not allow them to get directly into the Europa League, but only in its qualifications. Although this tournament is for sure of the least interest to the club’s management and its fans. The last season was remembered for the fans of the London club by the fact that Jose Mourinho took the helm of the team. Under his leadership, Tottenham did not surprise with anything. On the road, Spurs rarely rejoiced with victories, but at home they traditionally replenished their spectacled luggage, especially after quarantine. In the last five fights in the home arena Londoners have won four wins and one draw. If the instability of Tottenham in the last championship could still be attributed to the fact that Mourinho was only introducing his vision into the team’s game, then in the current championship the Portuguese will be asked to the fullest. The minimum challenge for the season is to be one of the top four clubs in England. In the offseason the club’s management was not very active in the transfer market. Pierre-Emerick Heiberg and Matt Doherty were clearly signed for the future. Before the upcoming match there are practically no personnel problems in Tottenham’s squad. Only Japhet Tanganga is in the infirmary.
Few expected that Victoria Azarenka would be able to return so successfully once again to the tour. On August 22-nd, the Belarusian tennis player began her winning streak and has not lost for eleven matches. The last time Azarenka played in the final of the Grand Slam tournament was back in 2013. Then Serena Williams did not allow the Belarusian tennis player to take the title (7-5, 6-7, 6-1). This year the impregnable American Victoria beat in the semifinals (1-6, 6-3, 6-3). The semi-final turned out to be difficult for Azarenka. And it could hardly have been otherwise, taking into account the uncomfortable rival. Only in the second set Victoria did play out, she began to act more aggressively and boldly. Serena had no counter-arguments. In general, during the tournament, Azarenka does not show any decline in the game. Only in certain segments of matches it is not possible to adapt immediately to the style of the opponents’ play, but experience and tactical decisions, changes during the matches helped Victoria. We constantly wrote about this in our forecasts for her games. For example, this happened not only in the semifinals, but also in the 1/8 finals against Karolina Mukhova (5-7, 6-1, 6-4).
