In the opening round of the Hamburg European Open, Alexander Bublik will take on second seed Andrey Rublev. With 29 victories from 38 games and three championships to his credit, the Russian has enjoyed a respectable season thus far. He won the Open 13 in Marseille by defeating Felix Auger-Aliassime in the championship match, and he then won the Dubai Tennis Championships by triumphing against Jiri Vesely. Additionally, Rublev advanced to the Indian Wells Masters semifinals before falling to Taylor Fritz.
Bublik, who won the Open Sud de France by defeating Alexander Zverev in the championship match, has won 22 of the 39 games he has played thus far this season. The Kazakh entered the Hall of Fame Open in Newport as the third seed after losing in the third round at Wimbledon, and after defeating Jason Kubler, Jack Sock, and Andy Murray, he advanced to his second season final.

Andrey Rublev vs Alexander Bublik Prediction
Rublev, who is in excellent form right now and plays well on clay, will start the match as the clear favourite. This season, the Russian has prevailed in 11 of the 15 surface contests, as opposed to Bublik’s two victories from eight. Rublev has a strong serve, but his forehand will likely be more useful on clay. From the baseline, the Russian will try to control the action and exert pressure on his opponent.
Bublik’s serve, which is now among the greatest in the game, will be crucial. The Kazakh, who has served 64 double-faults in eight matches this season, is however prone to doing so on clay. Rublev also happens to be the better clay court player.
Prediction: Rublev to win in straight sets.
