The Seagulls played the last championship at their level. The team completed the main task, namely the registration in the Premier League was preserved, whereas the final was the 15-th place in the standings. For Brighton this was already the third consecutive season in the elite division of England, and, we must say, the team had not finished above the 15-th position yet. However, Brighton’s line-up does not allow counting on anything more than the struggle for registration. The team was not active in the transfer market. The club’s management managed to get an experienced Adam Lallana. But the loss of the “Seagulls” is serious. Aaron Muya, who was one of the team leaders, left to compete in the Chinese Championship. In the last championship Graham Potter’s wards did not look excellent in their home arena. In their previous nine games, Brighton have beaten only Arsenal at home (2:1). Let’s note the low performance of the “Seagulls” in home matches. For the entire past championship, they managed to score at home with only 20 goals. Only Norwich and Crystal Palace had worse performances. Christian Walton, Florin Andone and Jos? Izquierdo are now in the Brighton infirmary. Questionable is the presence of Aaron Connolly.
Unlike Zverev, Tim has already been one step away from winning the Major three times. He played in the final three times. In 2018 and 2019 it was Roland Garros and this season the Austrian played at the Australian Open. In France, Dominic lost twice to Rafael Nadal and in Australia to Novak Djokovic. This time, on the way to the final, Tim gave only one game to his opponents. This lucky winner was Marin Cilic, whom the Austrian beat 6-2, 6-2, 3-6, 6-3. After that Dominic did not notice Felix Auger-Aliassim (7-6, 6-1, 6-1) and Alex De Minaura (6-1, 6-2, 6-4). In the semifinals the representative of Austria removed Daniil Medvedev from his path. The fate of the match was decided in two tie-breaks (6-2, 7-6, 7-6). More today’s tennis predictions can be obtained from the link provided.
