Luxembourg - Serbia It's really fun to watch Serbia this time around. Head coach and legend of Yugoslavian football,Dragan Stojkovic Piksi, brought big changes to our game and our mentality. We are know playing a very offensive minded football, always going for one more goal. I could easily say that in this very moment,Serbia is one of most exciting teams to watch. Having a players like Tadic, Sergej Milinkovic Savic, Kostic, Vlahovic and Mitrovic,in team,it's not difficult to understand why. But,on the other hand, our defense is quite shaky and we don't have good balance in the game. This is why Serbia conceding a lot of goals. In fact:in last eight Serbia's matches only once we didn't concede a goal (International friendly match against Qatar,which we won 4:0 btw). Having a players like Rodrigues,Goncalves,Sinani and Till i can easily see Luxembourg scoring here. Luxembourg is underdog,but not a type of underdog who "parks a bus" in front of their goal,but like to go up front as well. After all: h2h suggests another high-scoring match. Like i said,Serbia is doing well in these qualifications and still have a chance to finish top of the group. To do that our national team has to win all of remaining matches: Luxembourg (a), Azerbaijan (h) and then a 'big finale' of the campaign - Portugal (a). Not a easy task,but i think we will start with 3 points on Saturday. Serbia ah2(-1) @1.90 Total goals scored: over 2.5 @1.80 Anytime scorer: Aleksandar Mitrovic @1.80 (Mitrovic could score 2 or more goals here,but i don't have this option in local bookie)

Nishikori is just awful in this second set. Unbelievably how many break points he throw away.

It's getting even more strange when you realize that neither of them was seeded in the draw.

But,just a few days ago,Djokovic said (after practice with Shapovalov) they've both agreed that surface is 15% faster than last year and it will be even 15% faster in second week of the tournament. Ok,those are their impressions but still..i don't think that conditions will be that slow..

I'm not suprised at all. He always choke in Olympics.

Very tricky match-up for Novak.

Also in Serbian.

I forgot to mention. He has a very good record on grass so far in his career. (i apologise for my English..it's not very correct)

Berrettini is enjoying a very good season so far. Except of Bublik and Fokina,his defeats are coming from better ranked players: Medvedev,Tsitsipas,Zverev and Djokovic. His record is 26-5 which is pretty decent,i would say. So far,he didn't show any sign of injury,fatigue problems.. But above all this - he've improved his game. Particulary on backhand side. Before,his bh was very vulnerable. Not even average,but poor. These days his bh is solid. Not solid as his forehand,but it's no longer poor..he is now able not just to hit cross-court bh,but also down the line..also his slice is decent enough..so plenty shots to mix with.. of course his serve and fh are stil his "trademark" shots,very powerful shots.. His footwork is nice, which is very important on grass surface especially His return shots are no more than average,but i believe that he could 'live' with it..like i said - tough nutt to crack and don't believe anyone will fancy him in draw.

I think that Berrettini will be a very tough nutt to crack at Wimbledon.

I prefer not to

Medvedev - Opelka 1.25 3.25 There has to be value on Opelka,doesn't? Either final outcome or set/game handicap.

Thank you so very much on this one,Darko. Cheers
