Both Coco Gauff and Karolina Muchova are well deservedly in the final of the WTA 1000 China Open in Beijing. The unseeded Muchova has beaten two top 10 players on her path to the final and Gauff is showcasing her best tennis of the season in Beijing. This is the second time Gauff and Muchova faces each other in a WTA 1000 final.
Coco Gauff has had a disappointing year after she won the US Open (her first Major) last year. She has been struggling a lot, her serve has mostly been not good as we all know. Therefore it has been nice to watch her play in Beijing. She looks more like herself again and has the chance to win her second WTA 1000 title in her career. This is Coco’s second final of the season on the WTA tour. The first one was in early January in Auckland (she won).
Gauff has now put herself in a position to end the season well. She is ranked at the 6th position in the world. Coco was at number two just 4 months ago. Her early exit in New York as the defending champion cost her a lot of points in the rankings. Coco has won 40 and lost 14 matches on the tour this season. Muchova has played seven events since her return to the tour and reached two finals and the semis at the US Open. She is in a position to be the most talked about player on the tour when the season ends.
Karolina Muchova has beaten two top ten players in her two prior matches in Beijing. Sabalaneka and Zheng. She reached the semifinal at the US Open last year, was ranked at the 8th spot in the world and got injured straight after New York. She had wrist surgery in February and came back to the tour in July. Karolina has played extremely well since her comeback. She reached the final in Palermo where she lost to Zheng. She repeated her semi final run at the US Open(lost to Pegula) from last year. She will take a leap in the rankings on monday. Currently she is at the 49th spot. She has won 18 and lost 5 matches on the WTA tour since her comeback in July.
Coco Gauff is up 2-0 in the head to head. The first match between them was a WTA 1000 final. It was the Cincinnati Masters last year and Gauff won the match in straight sets and secured her first, and so far only, WTA 1000 title. So this would be Muchova’s second ever WTA 1000 final. The second match between these two players was at the US Open semifinals last year. Gauff won in two sets again.
As an unseeded player Muchova has played six matches in Beijing compared to Gauff’s five. Muchova has only lost one set so far at the China Open and it was against the top seed Sabalenka. Karoliona snapped Sabalenka’s 15 game win streak. The 28 year old from the Czech Republic has defeated Blinkova, Yuan, Cristian, Bucsa, Sabalenka and Zheng in the semifinal. Muchova is a top 10 player in reality and back to the level she was before her injury last year. Her only title on the tour was the Korea Open back in 2019. It has been a long time waiting for Muchova.
Gauff entered the WTA 1000 China Open in the round of 64 and she got the better of Burel in two sets. Then she did the same to Boulter in the round of 32. In the round of 16 she was tied one set all with Osaka when Naomi retired the match. Coco went on to beat Starodubtseva and Badosa in the quarter and semi final. In both of those matches Gauff came back to win after being a set down. That’s telling.
The action is going on at its fullest at the ATP 1000 Rolex Shanghai Masters in China. We’ve got a potential blockbuster on the schedule in the shape of Holger Rune against Matteo Berrettini. Gael Monfils will square off with his compatriot Ugo Humbert.
The Dane Holger Rune is up in the head to head with Matteo Berrettini from Italy. Holger is up two to one and their last match between them was at the ATP 1000 Masters in Cincinnati. Holger won in three sets and it was in the round of 64. Holger reached the semifinal in Cincy and that is one of his best results on the tour in 2024. The 21 year old Rune is ranked at the 14th position in the world. He has won 36 and lost 20 matches on the tour in 2024. Holger is without any titles so far this season. He lost to Fils in the semis at the Japan Open in Tokyo last week and went out in the round of 16 at the Hangzhou Open just before that. He lost to Nakashima in the first round at the US Open. Since he is seeded at the event, 12th, he didn’t play in the round of 128.
Matteo Berrettini faced a lot of adversity in the first part of the season with not one, but two different injuries. He is back and looking healthy and solid on the court. Matteo has been very effective on the court this season and won 26 matches and only lost 8. The 28 year old from Rome has won three titles on the ATP tour this season, they were in Gstaad, Kitzbuhel and Marrakesh. Berrettini is currently ranked at the 44th spot in the world. There will be questions raised about his health because he had to retire from the round of 16 match against Arthur Fils last week at the Japan Open in Tokyo. Matteo got the better of O’Connell in two close tiebreak sets in the round of 128.
We have ourselves a matchup between two French players in the shape of Ugo Humbert and the veteran Gael Monfils. Humbert is up in the head to head, three to one. Monfils and Humbert have faced each other twice this season and won one match each. Gael won in Doha and Humbert in Dubai. The 26 year old Ugo Humbert is ranked at the 15th position in the world. He has two titles to his name this season( Dubai and Marseille). The left-hander was close to a third title last week at the ATP 500 in Tokyo but lost the final to another Frenchman, Arthur Fils. He had matchpoints in the match but missed them, obviously. Humbert defeated Cazaux In the round of 64 at the Shanghai Masters
The 37 year old seasoned veteran from Paris is one of the most appreciated and beloved players on the ATP tour. That is both among the fans and his peers as well. Monfils has played 41 matches on the tour in 2024 and won 21 of the matches. He is ranked just inside the top 50 at the 46th spot. His highest ranking ever was at the 6th spot back in 2016. Gael lost to Casper Ruud in the second round of the US Open and has only played at the China Open in Beijing since New York. He lost in the opening round to Medvedev. Monfils has beaten Dzumhur and Baez so far at the Rolex Shanghai Masters.
Live from the electrifying Delta Center in Salt Lake City, get ready for the moment you’ve all been waiting for - UFC 307, featuring not one, but two explosive title fights!
First up, the Bantamweight belt is on the line as reigning champion Raquel Pennington faces fierce challenger Julianna Peña in an all-American showdown. But that's just the beginning! In the Light Heavyweight division, Brazilian powerhouse and current champion Alex Pereira will defend his title against the dangerous American striker Khalil Rountree.
And that’s not all! Legendary José Aldo steps back into the octagon to face the rising star Mario Bautista, while Georgian warrior Roman Dolidze looks to bring fireworks as he clashes with Kevin Holland.
LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE BOUT: Pereira 11-2-0 VS Rountree 14-5-0
With a staggering 9 knockouts and 4 first-round finishes in just 11 fights, Alex Pereira is usually the favorite - and it’s no different this time around. But hold on, because he's about to step into the octagon with a beast. Khalil Rountree’s stats are even more terrifying, boasting an unbelievable 10 knockouts and 7 first-round finishes in his 14 victories.
The question on everyone's mind: Who lands first - and who hits hardest?
Our money’s on Pereira. But in a fight like this, it could all come down to a split second.
WOMEN´S BANTAMWEIGHT TITLE BOUT: Pennington 16-9-0 VS Peña 12-5-0
Raquel "Rocky" Pennington is riding high on a fantastic six-fight win streak, boasting one knockout and four submission victories. But standing in her way is Julianna "The Venezuelan Vixen" Peña, who brings even more breathtaking stats to the table: 3 knockouts, 6 wins by submission, and a staggering 4 first-round finishes.
While Pennington enters this fight as the favorite, there's something electric about Peña's hunger. She’s not just here to compete - she’s here to take the belt. And with the fire Peña has shown, I believe "The Venezuelan Vixen" might just want that title more than Pennington wants to defend it.
This is set to be an all-out war!
BANTAMWEIGHT BOUT: Aldo 32-8-0 VS Bautista 14-2-0
The world’s beloved fighter, José Aldo, may have once been one of the greatest in the sport, but time catches up with even the best. While Aldo’s legendary status can’t be denied, it’s Mario Bautista who’s coming in hot with his submission game. With 6 wins by submission in just 16 matches, a victory for Bautista via submission wouldn’t be a surprise - it would feel almost inevitable.
Aldo’s experience may be legendary, but Bautista’s hunger and skill on the mat make this an electrifying clash of generations.
MIDDLEWEIGHT BOUT: Dolidze 13-3-0 VS Holland 26-11-0
Fan-favorite Kevin Holland is a knockout artist with a staggering 14 wins by KO, 8 submissions, and an incredible 13 first-round finishes. And if there’s one thing we expect from Holland in this upcoming clash, it’s fireworks.
He’s not just looking to win - he’s looking to dominate. We’re calling it now: Holland is about to add his 14th first-round finish to that jaw-dropping record. Buckle up!
ANALYSIS:
A match that usually generates plenty of goals and scoring opportunities. I don't expect any exceptions tonight, so it's a good idea to explore Player Props. It's only a matter of time before Amine Gouri really gets going. He has delivered several good passes, missed a big chance, and even hit the woodwork. Odds of 2.00 are good.
ANALYSIS:
Lens is underperforming offensively and feels like a fragile favorite. Strasbourg has bounced back under new coach (Rosenior), especially in terms of team cohesion. Just look at how the bench reacted in the win over Marseille recently. The tactics worked perfectly in that match, pressing high as a unit, earning a well-deserved victory. Adrien Thomasson does everything for Lens and can be used in many roles. One thing I've noticed is that he's more involved physically, averaging 2.8 tackles and 2.2 fouls per game. His first booking is coming soon... at odds of 4.50!
ANALYSIS:
Stick to the "draw line" in this intense derby... Both teams always enter the match with the mindset of "refusing to lose." This is why the games are almost always tight and close. Only one of the last thirteen matches between these two has been won by more than a one-goal margin. Sevilla is traditionally the "big brother" in the city, but that hasn't been the case in recent years, with Real Betis surging ahead.
ANALYSIS:
Las Palmas started very well last season, impressing with their possession play (only Real Madrid and Barcelona had more). However, they began to rest on their laurels, became predictable, and lacked a "Plan B." Despite a coaching change, they remain winless. Ollie McBurnie has accumulated many yellow cards in England in recent years, and it feels like he's close to losing his temper. Alex Munoz has been unusually calm this season but is known for shirt-pulling and a fiery temper...
ANALYSIS:
Everton managed to secure their first win of the season recently. It wasn’t pretty, and it wasn’t against a top team (a struggling Crystal Palace), but it likely boosted their morale. Expect a lively atmosphere at Goodison Park tonight under the floodlights. Dwight McNeil has been the designated playmaker since moving inside from the wing, but Ilman Ndiaye shouldn't be overlooked. He’s been performing well in the last two matches, somewhat under the radar, with five key passes recorded. Newcastle has strengths, but they’re not flawless. They haven't kept a clean sheet since the opening match and have allowed 73 shots inside the box (only Leicester has been worse). The "Magpies" are thrilled to have their "supplier" back. Kieran Trippier is crucial in set-pieces and crossing from the right wing. He has plenty of tall players to aim for—and Everton has allowed 19 headed shots so far (the second-most in the league). Worth noting... The assist doesn’t need to be for a header, but having that stat on your side doesn’t hurt!
ANALYSIS: Kalmar is clearly under pressure, with teammates even starting to argue openly. Djurgården hasn’t been impressive since the European Championship break, with key players departing and many absences due to injuries. Despite this, they have a strong record against teams from the lower half of the table and should draw confidence from a good performance in Austria. A 2–2 draw against LASK Linz (who were huge favorites) was promising. Djurgården rested several key players for that match, but now the best possible lineup will be fielded.
Everton will look to build on their first Premier League win of the season as they host Newcastle United at Goodison Park on Saturday. While the Toffees have had a forgettable start, the Magpies have enjoyed their best opening in over a decade.
Everton finally got their first win last weekend with a 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace. And another game at good ol’ Goodison Park offers them a solid chance for back-to-back wins, having won six of their last eight home matches. After falling behind 1-0 against Palace, Everton showed resilience, turning the game around to secure a come-from-behind victory—their first in over a year. While striker McNeil grabbed the headlines, it was Jarrad Branthwaite's return to the defense that proved crucial, improving a backline that has struggled in recent weeks.The win moved Everton out of the bottom three for the first time this season. However, they could slip back in if they fail to get a result against Newcastle, a team they've historically had some success against. Thus we can expect that extra spark to retain positive feel coming into the break.
Prior to last season, Newcastle had won five of their previous six encounters with Everton. However, last term saw the Toffees take four points from their two meetings, including a draw in April. Eddie Howe’s side will come into this game with confidence, having picked up 11 points from a possible 18—their best Premier League start since 2011. A 1-1 draw against Manchester City last weekend, despite missing key forward Alexander Isak, suggests Newcastle are once again ready to compete for European places, after just missing out last season. Currently sitting in seventh place, Newcastle will look to extend their strong away form, having won 10 of their last 17 games on the road across all competitions.
Everton’s defensive side may suffer a blow as reports indicate that aforementioned Branthwaite, who just returned from injury, could miss this match, which would be a major setback for Sean Dyche and his squad. Newcastle are also dealing with injury issues, as top scorer Alexander Isak likely being sidelined with a broken toe. He has been left out of Sweden's national team squad, indicating he is unlikely to feature in Saturday’s fixture.
EVERTON line-up Pickford; Young, Tarkowski, Keane, Mykolenko; Mangala, Doucoure; Harrison, McNeil, Ndiaye; Calvert-Lewin
NEWCASTLE line-up Pope; Trippier, Schar, Burn, Hall; Tonali, Bruno Guimaraes, Joelinton; Murphy, Gordon, Barnes
Liverpool are playing great under their new Dutch manager Arne Slot. The Reds have won 5 out of their 6 Premier League fixtures so far and are sitting at the top of the table ahead of Manchester City and Arsenal. Palace is still to win a game in the Premiership this season. Will they upset the big favourite Liverpool at the Selhurst Park?
It has been a rough start to the new Premier League season for Palace. No wins after six fixtures. Three draws and three losses. Crystal Palace find themselves in the relegation zone currently and the manager Oliver Glassner is under pressure, for sure. He would sacrifice a lot to win the first match of the Premier League season before the International breaks starts. Last week Palace lost to Everton away (1-2) after they were up in the match. Before that match they had three straight draws with Manchester United (0-0), Leicester (2-2) and Chelsea away (1-1). Crystal Palace started the season with two losses to Brentord and West Ham. Palace have scores five goals and they have conceded nine so far in the Premier League season.
With five wins out of six possible in the Premier League Liverpool are at the top of the table. The Merseysiders found their groove pretty much immediately under the new manager Arne Slot. The defence is looking marvellous with only two conceded goals in six matches. They have scored 12 and the balance of the tem looks just right at the moment. Last week The Reds defeated Wolverhampton away (2-1).Before that it was Bournemouth at home (3-0) and the only loss of the season came at home in week four to Nottingham (0-1). Liverpool started the season by beating Ipswich Town, Brentford and Manchester United. The Reds have also won their both matches in the Champions League so far (Milan and Bologna).
Federico Chiesa will be out for Liverpool and so will Harvey Elliott be. Slot was excited midweek because Diego Jota, Andy Robertson and Darwin Nunes played after being out due to injuries. The injury situation is a bit worrisome for Palace. Chadi Riad is out, the same goes for Christopher Richards and Cheick Doucoure. The defender Rob Holding will also miss the game. Matheus Franca will be a game time decision for Palace.
Crystal P: Henderson; Lerma, Guehi, Lacroix; Munoz, Wharton, Kamada, Mitchell; Nketiah, Mateta, Eze. Liverpool: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Szoboszlai, Diaz; Jota
Novak Djokovic is in China for the first time in five years and he played some tennis at the great wall of China at his arrival. The Olympic champion will face the 17 year younger, Alex Michelsen. Sascha Zverev is the 2nd seed and he will square off with the qualifier Mattia Bellucci.
Alex Michelsen just turned 20 years of age and his season has been great so far. The talented Californian has reached two finals (Newport & Winston-Salem) and entered the top 50. What a treat for Alex to play the living tennis legend Novak Djokovic for the first time ever in his (short) career. Michelsen is currently ranked at the 43rd spot in the world and he has won 26 and lost 25 matches on the court in 2024. He turned pro just 15 months ago. The Rolex Shanghai Masters is his second event since the US Open (lost in the 2nd round). He played the ATP 500 Japan Open and he reached the QF in Tokyo.
Novak is currently at 9th spot in the race to the ATP Finals in Turin. The best eight players in the the world are going to Italy to finish off the tennis season next month. It is no longer a priority for Novak. Nobody has won the ATP Finals as many times as him, in the history of tennis. China has always been a big market for Novak and he speaks the language which the Chinese fans love. Since 2011 Djokovic has missed out on a Grand Slam title in 2017 and 2024. So it has been a weird year for the 37 year old from Belgrade. He lost in the first week of the US Open, won the Olympics which meant everything to him and he reached the final at Wimbledon. It is going to be interesting to see how he looks in Shanghai. He has won the title four times.
Zverev is back on the tour after his ugly exit at the US Open in New York. He lost to Fritz in the QF after a very disappointing level of play from Sasha. Zverev played two matches at the Laver Cup in his home country Germany. He won one and lost one in Berlin. He is currently the world number three and he has won 57 and lost 18 matches on the ATP tour in 2024. He won the title at the ATP 1000 Rome Masters and lost the French Open final to Alcaraz. The 27 year old still hasn't won a Grand Slam title in his career.
Mattia Bellucci came through the qualifications at the Rolex Shanghai Masters. The Italian defeated Shimuzu and Karatsev, both in two sets. The 23 year old is ranked just outside the top 100 at the 101st position. He has won 6 out of the 13 matches he has played on the ATP tour in 2024 and has spent a lot of time on the Challenger tour. The lefthander is kind of short (5.9 or 175 cm). Bellucci qualified for the ATP 500 in Tokyo last week but lost in the first round of the main event. He lost In the round of 16 at the Hangzhou Open. He reached the second round at the US Open after he qualified. So he has won some matches lately on hardcourt.
We’ve got two interesting semifinals to look forward to in Beijing. Coco Gauff, the 4th seed, will square off with Paola Badosa, seeded 15th. The great Chinese hope and hero, Qinwen Zheng, are in the semifinals. The 5th seed will face the unseeded Karolina Muchova.
Badosa has had a great run overall since she won the title in Washington. That win meant so much for her after the struggles with injuries the last two seasons. Paola hasn't lost a set yet at the WTA 1000 China Open in Beijing. The 26 year old has so far defeated Zhang, Pegula, Sramkova and Tomova in reversed order. Paola Badosa reached the quarterfinal at the US Open and the semifinal at the Cincinnati Masters. Paola Badosa has won 18 of her last 21 matches since she went out to Donna Vekic at Wimbledon. She is ranked at the 19th spot in the world and has won 34 and lost 16 matches on the tour this season.
Coco is down 2-3 to Badosa in the head to head. Coco won the only match in 2024 and it was played on clay at the Rome Masters. Paola has won two of the three matches played on hardcourt. Gauff has won 45 and lost 15 matches and is ranked at the 6th position in the world. Just like Badosa she has won one title this season (Auckland). So far at the China Open Gauff has beaten Burel and Boulter in straight sets. In the round of 16 she played Osaka who retired the match at one set all. Coco defeated Starodubtseva in the quarterfinal. A win in Beijing would mean the world to Coco after the early exit in New York as the defending champion.
Zheng was the Chinese hero of the Olympics in Paris after she won the gold medal. She is probably a bit relieved not to play Sabalenka in the semis because Aryna has had her number for a while (3-0 h2h). She will face the unseeded and dangerous Muchova in the semi. Muchova, just ranked inside the top 50, has struggled with injuries as you know by now. She has been awesome on the WTA tour since her comeback. She has won 17 and lost 5 matches on the ATP tour in 2024. She reached the semifinals at the US Open. Muchova has beaten Blinkova, Yuan, Cristian and Bucsa in the four first rounds without losing a set. Karolina took out the top seed Sabalenka in the semis in three sets. Muchova was ranked inside the top 10 in September last year and got injured at that time.
Qinwen and Karolina are tied in the head to head, one all. Qinwen won the only match they have played on the WTA tour in 2024. It was the final at the Ladies Palermo Open and Zheng won the match. Clay was the surface at the event. Zheng is ranked at the 7th position in the world and she has won 41 and lost 14 on the WTA tour in 2024. She defeated Rakhimova and Podoroska in straight sets in the two first matches she played. Then she took out Anisimova in three sets and Andreeva also, in the quarter final. Zheng came back from being a set down in both. Qinwen looks hungry and highly motivated to win the title on home soil.
It’s far-fetched to expect the same goal fest as in last year's corresponding match (4-4), but I actually wouldn’t be surprised if we see something similar. Augsburg has conceded quite a few cheap goals, especially early in matches. Samuel Essende is still suspended after his red card against Mainz. On top of that, they have numerous injuries, knocks, and illnesses affecting the squad.
Mönchengladbach, who have only won one of their last thirteen away games against Augsburg, will be missing in-form midfielder Franck Honorat, among others.
Expected lineups:
Home team: Labrovic - M. Bauer, Gouweleeuw, K. Schlotterbeck - M. Wolf, Onyeka, Jakic, Giannoulis - Rexhbecaj, Kabadayi - Mounié
Away team: Nicolas - Scally, Itakura, Elvedi, Netz - Reitz, Weigl - Cvancara, Plea, Stöger - Kleindienst.
If you want to take a risk, you could also try betting on a 2-2 or 3-3 result.
A similar start to the season for these two teams, with one significant difference.
Leganés has had a favorable schedule but has only managed to win one game (against a still winless Las Palmas).
Valencia, on the other hand, has faced tough competition, including Barcelona, Athletic Bilbao, Villarreal, Atlético Madrid, and Real Sociedad. They lost only one match against the eight lowest-ranked teams from last season (which is where we will likely find Leganés). Valencia has already scored twice from corners. Pepelu takes most of the free kicks and corners, with many strong headers to target. He is also the designated penalty taker and converted seven of the eight penalties awarded last season.
Squad status...
Home team: Munir El Haddadi and Yvan Neyou are dealing with minor injuries. Naim Garcia is unavailable due to injury.
Away team: The following players are out due to various injuries: Jaume Doménech Mouctar Diakhaby Rafa Mir José Gayà Jesús Vázquez
Borussia M’Gladbach are travelling to Augsburg for an important fixture in the Bundesliga. It is the 6th week of the season and the hosts, Augsburg, needs to start winning some games. They are in the relegation zone and M'Gladbach are just above it. This could become a enjoyable battle to watch at WWK Arena in Augsburg.
This a huge game early in the season for both of the clubs involved. Augsburg have only won one match out of five at the start of Bundesliga. Gladbach have won two games so far. Augsburg are currently in the 15th spot in the table, just above the feared relegation zone. Three losses, one draw and one win makes them stand at four points right now. Augsburg has lost two straight games. Leipzig demolished them last weekend and won 4-0 and they lost at home to Mainz the week before (2-3). Their only win for the season came in week three when they defeated St Pauli (3-1). Augsburg started the season with a draw to Werder Bremen and a loss to Heidenheim. Their Danish manager Jess Thorup is under pressure and a win would be very appreciated as far as he is concerned. 14 conceded goal in five games ain’t good enough if they want to keep tower spot in the Bundesliga next season.
Gladbach defeated Union Berlin last weekend with the only goal of the match scored by Tomas Cvancara. It was an important win for the team and the goal was scored deep into stoppage time (96th minute). A massive win for the Swiss manager Gerardo Seoane. They had two losses before the win against Union Berlin. Frankfurt away (0-2) and Stuttgart at home (1-3). In week two Borussia beat Bochum away (2-0) and on the opening matchday they lost to the defending champions Bayer Leverkusen. They stand at six points in the table and are parked at the11th spot. Gladbach would love to win this one just before the International break next week. Gladbach are not a good away team statistically.
Augsburg will miss the striker Samuel Essende due to suspension. The defender Robert Gummy is out just as the striker Ruben Vargas. That goes for Daniel Klein and Marc Pedersen as well. As far as Gladbach goes there are some injury worries for manager Seoane. Yvandro Borges and Simon Walde will be out until christmas. Nathan N’Goumou and Jonas Omlin will be back next month. Franck Honorat and Jan Olschowsky could be back in a couple of weeks.
Augsburg: Labrovic, Bauer, Gouweleeuw, Schlotterbeck; Wolf, Onyeka, Jakic, Giannoulis; Rexhbecaj; Tietz, Mounie, M’Gladbach: Nicolas; Scally, Itakura, Elvedi, Netz; Sander, Weigl; Hack, Stoger, Plea; Kleindienst
