🎾 2:00*: Carlos Alcaraz (Spain, 1) – Daniil Medvedev (Russia, 3), US Open – 1/2 final
*Game schedules are subject to change and will be confirmed.
Intrigue: Will the Russian take revenge for his losses this season?
Our tennis player is racing towards the final! But his opponent in the semifinals is dangerous, because Medvedev has already lost twice to Alcaraz this season. This will be a decisive showdown that cannot be missed (even if the timing is not right). “He is good with the forehand, the backhand, the cut, the drop, all the shots. But in tennis you can always win. The people beat Novak. They even beat Rafa on clay. It’s almost impossible, but someone did it. The same with Carlos. We have to be 100% prepared and be better,” Medvedev said. Alcaraz is also prepared: “In previous matches with Daniil I played perfectly tactically. Everything I had to do against him I did very well. I think my game is good against opponents like Daniil. I will try to do the same as I did in Indian Wells or Wimbledon. I hope to win and show the same level as in those games.”

⚽️ 2:00: Uruguay – Chile, qualification for the 2026 World Cup – South America, 1st round
Intrigue: which of the potential World Cup entrants has the best start in the selection process?
Those who cannot sleep will have the opportunity to witness a great game. The Chileans failed to qualify for the last World Cup and finished seventh in the group, while the Uruguayans qualified with enough confidence, although they did not shine much in Qatar. There is a new qualification ahead. Who will start better?

⚽️ 3:45: Brazil – Bolivia, qualification for the 2026 World Cup – South America, 1st round
Intrigue: how will the Brazilians start in the rankings?
The pain of being eliminated from the World Cup in Qatar should have subsided by now, and now Brazil faces a new test. Qualification for the 2026 World Cup begins, and in the 1st round the team will have to play Bolivia, one of the losers in the group. The last time the Bolivians defeated the Brazilians was in 2009, and since then they have mostly lost, dryly and decisively. What will happen this time?

🏉 1:00 p.m.: “Enisey-STM” – “Lokomotiv”, rugby – Russian Championship, 5th round
Mystery: Will Enisey be able to take revenge for the loss in the “golden” match?
In the final match of the last Russian championship, Lokomotiv Penza, unexpectedly for many fans of domestic rugby, beat Yenisei Krasnoyarsk. Now they meet again and Alexander Pervukhin’s wards, of course, want to take revenge locally. Both Lokomotiv and Enisey started poorly but are still fighting for the lead and the winner of this important encounter will secure top spot in the standings.

🏒 13:30: “Sibir” – “Avtomobilist”, KHL championship
💬 Match with text broadcast
Mystery: who will score the first goal at the Novosibirsk stadium?
The new Novosibirsk stadium was inaugurated, but in the first match the fans did not see a single goal in the 60 regulation minutes and five extra minutes. Surely the goalless streak will be interrupted, and it is really interesting which of the Sibir or Avtomobilist players, even formally, will be able to go down in history.

⚽️ 16:00: Azerbaijan – Belgium, EURO 2024, qualification, group F, fifth round
💬 Match with text broadcast
Intrigue: can Belgium catch up with the group leader?
Unlike the South American qualification for the 2026 World Cup, the qualification for Euro 2024 is already in full development. The Belgians, favorites in their group, have collected seven points from three games and are currently second, behind Austria, who have played one more game. Azerbaijan, to put it mildly, does not shine in this selection and occupies the last place with one point. It seems like a great chance for Belgium to take the win and catch up with the Austrians on points, but they will be playing in Baku so there will definitely be resistance.

🏒 17:00: “Vityaz” – “Metallurg”, KHL championship
Intrigue: how long will Vityaz be missing?
Vityaz started the season very unattractively and in the first two matches they conceded 11 goals. In the third game, the team from the Moscow region won its first victory, but now Metallurg’s opponent is the young, dangerous and offensive team of Andrei Razin.

⚽️ 19:00: Andorra – Belarus, EURO 2024, qualification, group I, fifth round
💬 Match with text broadcast
Intrigue: Will Belarus catch up with the leaders of the group?
Our neighbors also participate in the ratings. After four rounds, Belarus occupies fourth place in the group with three points, but if it wins it will be able to catch up with the leaders: Switzerland (10), Romania (8) and Israel (7). However, they have not yet played their matches, but beating the obvious rival in Andorra is the minimum program for the Belarusians.

⚽️ 19:00: Ukraine – England, EURO 2024, qualification, group C, fifth round
💬 Match with text broadcast
Intrigue: Will Britain’s winning streak last?
One of the main matches of the day is the match between Ukraine and England. The Ukrainians started with a defeat (precisely against the British), but then won two victories. England leads a great series: four victories, including Italy. Now it remains to be seen what awaits us: Will Ukraine close the gap with the favorite or will the British continue to dominate the group and get closer to qualifying for the Euro Cup?

⚽️ 21:45: North Macedonia – Italy, EURO 2024, qualification, group C, fifth round
💬 Match with text broadcast
Intrigue: Will Italy take revenge for qualifying for the 2022 World Cup?
A confrontation that, coincidentally, turned out to be fundamental. It was the Macedonians who sensationally eliminated the Italians in the recent World Cup qualification. It is true that they themselves did not arrive in Qatar. Now we are waiting for a new version, but already in the qualifying group for the Euro Cup. The Macedonians have currently played three games, the Italians one less, but they have the same points: three. And if there can be any doubts about North Macedonia’s ambitions, then Italy urgently needs to score points and catch up with Ukraine before the fight for euro access fades away.

🏆 🎾 23:00*: Cori Gauff (USA, 6) – Aryna Sabalenka (Belarus, 2), US Open – final
💬 Match with text broadcast
*Game schedules are subject to change and will be confirmed.
Intrigue: who will become US Open champion for the first time?
Tennis players who had not previously played in the decisive matches of this tournament reached the final of the US Open 2023. The champion of the Australian Open 2023, Aryna Sabalenka, previously did not advance beyond the semifinals in New York. Roland Garros 2022 finalist Cori Gauff was a quarterfinalist at the US Open last year. Previously, the girls had met five times and the score in personal meetings was 3-2 in favor of Gauff. The American was stronger at Lexington 2020, Rome 2021 and Toronto 2022, and Arina distinguished herself at Ostrava 2020 and Indian Wells 2023. Who will win such a prestigious trophy for the first time?
