In the opening round of the 2022 US Open, France’s Hugo Gaston will compete against Alexander Bublik of Kazakhstan. Read below for Alexander Bublik vs Hugo Gaston Prediction, Head-to-Head, Preview, Betting Tips and Live Stream.
Due to the fact that he was expecting to become a parent, Alexander Bublik has not been playing tennis as much lately. He did lately become a father, and he is now working again. In the last couple of weeks, he played just once, losing to Jenson Brooksby in Montreal.
Bublik has had a rocky few months since, other from the grass tournaments, he didn’t do much. In Newport, when he lost a match against Maxime Cressy in the championship match, he had his last remarkable performance.
Nothing could indicate whether he was taking the match seriously or not. This year’s record is 22-19, including a 4-7 record on hard surfaces.
Apart from the rare good couple of victories, Hugo Gaston is not having a terrific year. The French player has primarily struggled. One of tennis’ most promising young players, who competed in the Next Gen Finals in Milan, does not deserve a record of 14–23.
His performance hasn’t been that great in North America, and his score on hard (4-8) is very poor. Despite losing in the opening round, Montreal’s qualifications saw two victories. The first round in Cincinnati was lost, while the second round was lost in Winston-Salem.
A quick loss for Gaston is guaranteed if you combine that with his typical lack of form. There isn’t much experience to draw on because it’s his first outing on the main draw.

Alexander Bublik vs Hugo Gaston Prediction
Hugo Gaston, who is ranked 72, and Alexander Bublik, who is ranked 47, will face off in what could be an exciting matchup on Monday.
The 25-year-old Kazakh Bublik plays tennis with two first serves and no backup strategy, but despite his laid-back demeanour, the Kazakh has a really impressive set of abilities that can fool anyone on occasion, including Alexander Zverev, whom he defeated to win his first ATP title at the Montpellier Open back in February.
Especially in his native France, where he has advanced to the round of 16 at Roland-Garros and the quarterfinals at the Paris Masters, 21-year-old Gaston is something of a cult favourite on the tour.
The Frenchman disproved the notion that he was a clay specialist by upsetting Carlos Alcaraz in Paris last year and troubling eventual champion Daniil Medvedev on an indoor hardcourt, but he could be overwhelmed by players like the Kazakh’s big-serving Bublik if the latter shows up here.
Due to Gaston’s recent struggles on hardcourts this month, leave this potentially exciting but completely uncertain match out of an accumulator and pick Bublik to win at least two sets.
