Alexander Bublik vs J.J. Wolf prediction

Alexander Bublik returns to action for the first time since losing in the final in Kitzbuhel.

The Kazakhstani star has the weapons to switch to hardcourt effectively after a month out but does trail JJ Wolf 2-1 in their head-to-head.

That could given the American world number 248 real hope of causing problems here.

It’s unlikely to lead to the world number 16 falling at the first hurdle, but he could end up dropping a set to a player who also beat him in Cincinnati qualifying back in 2019.
