Rafael Nadal Vs Sebastian Korda Match Prediction: Who Will Win This Match?
Bublik may be ranked higher than Murray, but the latter’s experience and recent performances make him the favorite. Bublik is among the most prolific servers on tour and will look to power his way past Murray. But Murray also happens to be one of the best returners in the game. Having won their most recent encounter on hard court also tips the scales in Murray’s favour.
Prediction: Murray to win in straight sets.
