The Swiss national team was considered a contender for the exit from their group. Italy was definitely the favorite, but the Swiss were quite capable of competing with Wales and Turkey for the second line. In the first round Switzerland was not very confident in the match with Wales and was content with only a 1:1 draw, although it had a game advantage. In a duel with the Italians the Swiss national team played very poorly in defense, which resulted in three conceded goals. Volodymyr Petkovich’s charges could not respond with anything in the attack. In the last round Switzerland only needed a victory over Turkey to reach the playoffs. As a result, the task was completed. In Baku the Swiss won 3:1 and left the group from the third place. Rivals from France went to the Swiss, in the confrontation with which they were considered an obvious outsider. However, they managed to give a real fight to the world champion. By the 75th minute Switzerland was losing by two goals, but managed to recoup. In the penalty shootout the French were less fortunate and allowed the Swiss to advance to the quarterfinals.
In 2019 Khachanov reached the third round at Wimbledon. Then the Russian managed to defeat the Korean Kwon and Feliciano Lopez, but he did not succeed in opposing Roberto Bautista-Agut with something. Karen’s preparation for the Major can hardly be called successful. In Galle, for example, he lost to Andrei Rublev (3-6, 6-7) and in Mallorca he lost to Feliciano Lopez (6-4, 2-6, 4-6). But already here at Wimbledon, the Russian alternately removed Mackenzie MacDonald (3-6, 6-3, 6-4, 7-6) and Yegor Gerasimov (6-1, 7-6, 6-3) from his path.
