THE LOWDOWN

The one-time world number eight Jack Sock qualified for this tournament as a wild card entry and he has started it with an impressive four-set victory over Yoshihito Nishioka. He comes up against the 31st seed for the competition in Alexander Bublik. Bublik defeated Yannick Hanfmann in four sets with a fairly dominant display. The Kazakh has enjoyed career best performances at both the Australian Open and Wimbledon this year with a third round appearance in London just a couple of months ago.

THE PREDICTION

These two have never played each other so a head-to-head record is not something that can inform the prediction and a result is quite difficult to call. Despite the difference in their current ranking, these two appear to be fairly evenly matched and both winning 3-1 in the first round is a further example of that. Given that, the best bet for this one is probably to go overs in terms of games played as it should be a four or five set match.
