The six-time French champion following the results of the past season, which turned out to be shortened and crumpled, managed to get only 12-th place, which is far from the European competition zone. Bordeaux managed to score nine victories and ten draws, which brought the final 37 points and 12-th place in the table. The most offensive for the fans is that the Girondians lacked only four points before the coveted trip to Europe. The “dark blue” 40 times hit the gate of opponents, including seven goals on account of Briand. The ending of the tournament for Paulo Sousa’s charges turned out to be unsuccessful: defeat and three draws. The start of the new tournament with hosts can be called successful. In the first duel, the Girondins parted ways with Nantes (0:0). Before the break for the national teams, hosts of today’s match on the road beat Angers (2:0).
For the first time since 2013, Victoria Azarenko reached the semifinals of the Grand Slam tournament. The Belarusian tennis player has not lost for ten matches. After a difficult victory in the 1/8 finals, Mukhova (5-7, 6-1, 6-4) was followed by the defeat of Eliza Mertens (6-1, 6-0). Bookmaker analysts expected an equal opposition in that game, offering almost the same odds for the victory of tennis players. However, from the very first draws, Victoria indicated her total advantage and did not allow a minute to doubt the final result (6-1, 6-0). Don’t expect Serena Williams to be as easy on the Victoria court. Even when Williams had a total superiority over her opponents on the tour, Victoria was one of those who were not afraid to go on court against an American. It is interesting that the Belarusian tennis player won all four of her victories over Williams in the finals of the WTA tournaments. More tennis bet tips can be obtained from the link provided.
