THE PREDICTION

Alexander Bublik furthered his reputation as one tennis’ true enigmas after a first round victory over the eighth seed Gael Monfils at the French Open was followed by a straight-sets defeat to Lorenzo Sonego. Mackenzie McDonald was most recently a victim of Rafael Nadal’s French Open form, taking just four games in a straight sets defeat. While Bublik seems to lose interest in tournaments after a compelling start he is always a dangerous opponent and will be a firm favourite to take this match in straight sets.
