Alexander Bublik vs Tommy Paul Prediction

Since his quarter-final finish at the Australian Open, Tommy Paul had made the round of 16 at a minimum in each of the following three tournaments. He’ll be the heavy favourite to advance to the third round over Alexander Bublik, who comfortably progressed through to this stage of the competition with a straight sets victory over Sebastian Baez.

Tommy Paul represents significantly tougher opposition. The American boasts natural power when hitting from the baseline which is a great fit for the hard court. He comes into this match fresh and whilst it may take him time to adapt to his surroundings, once Paul gets into a groove he will be very difficult to stop.

Expect a strong performance from Paul and a fourth consecutive victory over Bublik. Backing him to get the job done in straight sets is also well worth considering.
