They were my wild guess for tonight's win

 

My pick was Moldova and Italy to fight for the top place, with Moldova winning  

Italy rising more and more 

Hvala  

Thank you @Werloc for 9 points  And please, do send songs in Lithuanian once in a while. It is such a beautiful language, and was the very big asset to the song you sent this time.

No points from Denmark is really disappointing. I wonder how I can revenge  

Hola!  

Damn, cannot comment on songs as I am voting a last, damn. Additionally, it is probably going to be anticlimactic as either winner will be already decided or I won't contribute to it whatsoever, given my voting pattern  

 Niger

That sounds like the recipe for a revolution.   

I guess it would be easier for the people in power to just establish an universal income system.  

 

Or maybe they just solve the problem by killing a lot of people, who knows.

The killing part may have already started

I have my top 9, and am struggling to pick 3 out of 6 songs.
Overall, interesting selections. I liked songs I wouldn't dream of liking xD

Well it's really good not to lose Serbia after losing Argentina. With all due respect to Belgium ofc 

Yeah, Serbia will avoid the mine called Argentina this time

The answer is no. Pegula won in three sets.

 

Meanwhile Iga Świątek trashed Kudermetova 6-0 6-1 in the other SF. So she has lost TWO games in two matches and here she is in the final

SFakari xD

I wish Iga revenges for that United Cup loss now  

Will Sakkari win this SF?  

Wuuuuhuu  

Again, the doping scandals are going for too long and if they want to ban them "without mixing the politics" then  ban Russia for some time because of the doping. This way it just gonna be a hot mess.

I think I have found the Hungarian submission, but it might be my strangest submission since Open 2020. The Open 2020 Hungarian song got by far the fewest points since I joined this contest, so... I will have to figure out if I want to risk competing for the last place again.  

That sounds exciting to me  

 New Zealand

This year decision was easy to make! Marlon Williams gets the opportunity to represent New Zealand, with his new solo album My Boy. More about it you can find here https://www.marlonwilliams.co.nz/bio

Born and raised in Christchurch port suburb of Lyttelton, music started early for young Marlon Williams, though the trail to his chosen alternative-country discipline was hardly flagged. His father sang in a punk band, but with a blend of Ngāi Tahu and Ngāi Tai blood he inevitably did a bit of singing at the local marae, harmonising around the house along with his mum. Church and school choirs later helped polish his natural vocal skills. Gram Parsons was his first country record and, as he tells Silke Hartung, Marlon knew then that this was the music he himself wanted to make.

As someone said, just ban Russia for all that systematic doping. Until they learn to respect their opponents and come clean.

Yes but still missing them. 

Well, me being huge fan of Iga and Ons, I would love to see them in the final, but Ons had some injury and well, she is not a reliable player, and Iga... Iga will return better  Hopefully she'll work more on her weaknesses, her serve wasn't good enough during this AO.

Yeah, I think if Tsitsipas manages to push the match in grueling battle he has huge chances, cause Novak's injury may worsen as the match progresses. He is due a Grand Slam and definitely a worthy champion. Then he only needs an ATP 500 title to win

I cheer for  in the men’s final.

 

For the women I don’t care. Such a boring final. Where’s Iga, Maria, Ons? 

Lost to better players on the given day

Poland is having great Slam - they have at least one finalist - Zielinski is in the men's doubles final!
