Darderi is on paper a big favorite here, but this match should still be approached with caution. Zhang gave Shelton a lot of trouble where he was narrowly defeated in 2 sets and I think he can provide very strong resistance here to Luciano, who also has a minor injury and according to the announcements, quite cold weather is expected in Munich tomorrow, so I believe in a marathon match.

Two consecutive losses for Minnesota against Nashville and Dallas and it seems to me that they are closer to third than to victory. They lost both matches only by a goal difference but they go to a strong St. Louis who is in a row of two losses at home and they have to avoid another one, especially against Minnesota who will field literally an AHL team, we know that it is a part of the season when teams that have already qualified give such players a chance to rotate the team a lot and Minnesota is one of those because they are guaranteed third place so I think the home team should really take advantage of that. Bad h2h and the fact that the home team has no motivation at least that competitive flaw of this guy but still at home against Minnesota's reserves it is worth a try in my opinion

After a long week in beautiful and warm Monte Carlo, Zverev comes to cold Munich, and as he himself has stated several times during his career, these playing conditions when the court is difficult to play are the least suitable for him - and tomorrow the temperature is expected to be up to 10 degrees. Last year he did win this tournament, but then he was eliminated in the first round of Monte Carlo, so he had more time to prepare. And Miomir knows how to play against Zverev - in the past 4 meetings he has won 2 times - most recently this year in Acapulco. I am sure he can take a set away from him,

Whatever Talon is like on this type of surface, Shapo certainly can't be a particular obstacle on clay, and this odds are really great for me. In general, Shapo has been out of any particular rhythm for a long time, and this part of the season has been torture for him for years and I don't think it will be much different this season, unless he pulls out some ace up his sleeve, although I doubt he has that right now when I take everything into account. Talon is a player who knows how to shine, he also knows how to fail, but in general he is a much more stable link than Shapovalov, and on clay I think he is definitely the favorite to win,
