Stan Wawrinka vs Alexander Bublik Prediction
In his three battles here, the Kazakh has managed to stutter past the finish line. He’ll need to perform at his peak right away against a rejuvenated Wawrinka. When they last faced off, Bublik needed to win in three sets, and the Swiss wasn’t even playing at his best. He plays well inside, therefore anticipate him to make it to the championship match.
