ALEKSANDAR VUKIC VS ALEXANDER BUBLIK PREDICTION
World number 19 Alexander Bublik reached the round of 16 at the Madrid Open before a competitive defeat to Daniil Medvedev but he suffered an early exit in Rome on more typical clay. The 26-year-old finished runner-up to Ugo Humbert at the Dubai Tennis Championships in February but he claimed a fourth ATP title earlier that month in Montpellier to maintain what has been a hugely transformative past 12 months on tour.
World number 93 Aleksandar Vukic conceded just two games to Mackenzie McDonald on Sunday, building on his decent showing at the Italian Open two weeks ago. A second round defeat to eventual champion Alexander Zverev aged well but he will have to improve to stand a chance against this new version of Bublik, whom Vukic beat in their first encounter two years ago in Adelaide.
With little clay form between two big-servers, consider taking this match to see at least a tiebreak to avoid a result altogether.
