THE PREDICTION

Alexander Bublik comes into the Rotterdam Open on a career-high ATP world ranking of 31st after winning his first ATP title with a career-best victory over Alexander Zverev at the Montpellier Open last Sunday. The 24-year-old will have to battle the post-title curse that often sees players, especially on the ATP tour, fall at the first hurdle in their next tournament after the expulsion of so much energy and he remains the most unpredictable man on tour too. That takes picking Andy Murray to win at least a set here the most reasonable option even if he does eventually lose to the Kazakh. 34-year-old Murray beat Bublik in straight sets way back in 2017 in their only previous encounter and while this should be a much tougher test it really is useless trying to figure out what version of the enigmatic, charismatic Kazakh will do on any given day.
