Learner Tien vs Alexander Bublik prediction
Learner Tien enjoyed a dominant win in his opening match at the Italian Open as he beat Damir Dzumhur comfortably. Tien broke on six occasions in total as he wrapped up a 6-2 6-1 win after just one hour and eight minutes. The American is continuing to develop his game on clay, and performances such as these will be a boost for the 20-year-old, as he continues his preparations ahead of Roland Garros.
Alexander Bublik fared well in Paris last year, making the quarter-finals of a Grand Slam for the first time. He ended a three-match losing run with victory in Rome, defeating Sebastian Baez in the second-round. It was a similarly routine win, with Bublik facing just the one break point on his way to winning 6-1 6-2 after just 59 minutes.
Bublik’s experience on the surface could give him the edge here, but he will have to serve well against Tien.
