🎾 Winston-Salem Open

Bellucci vs Darderi – Italian derby in the second round. Bellucci just battled through a three-setter against Landaluce, 6-4, 6-7, 6-1 -2. That’s a lot of tennis already. Darderi had a bye, so he’s fresh. But here’s the thing – Bellucci was finding his range in that third set, broke early and never looked back. I really like Bellucci to win if he keeps striking that clean. The legs might be a question late, but he’s the one with rhythm right now.

🏀 France vs Serbia (Friendly)

These two just played a thriller – France edged it 91-90 with a last-second winner -6-12. Wembanyama had 18 and 5 but couldn’t buy a three, went 0-for-4 from deep -6. Serbia pushed them all the way. Now they run it back. France looked heavy at times, especially late, and Serbia were the ones making plays down the stretch. Give me Serbia with the points or even the outright win if the line makes sense. They’re the ones who will want to prove they should have won the first one.
