Adrian Mannarino vs Alexander Bublik prediction

Alexander Bublik will want his fabulous 2025 to continue in Beijing.

The Kazakhstani is up to a career-high 16th in the world and arrives on the back of his fourth tour-level title of the year in Hangzhou. 

First up, he takes on the veteran Adrian Mannarino for the second time.

Bublik won their only previous encounter in straight sets on a hardcourt back in 2020.

Mannarino may be 37 now but he is still capable of some excellent results, reaching the round of 16 at the US Open and he didn’t drop a set coming through qualifying here.

If Bublik isn’t too fatigued he’ll be far too strong in this one, but the Frenchman will hope his opponent has a dip in focus and look to take advantage. That said, we don't see the Kazakhstani letting up.
