Alexander Bublik vs Lorenzo Musetti prediction

We can expect a tight match between the pair but Bublik looks in prime position to go through. He will be hard to stop with the way he has been serving. Musetti will have to not only serve well but also make early inroads on the return and attack the net regularly. Fighting fire with fire looks like the only option for Musetti.

Pick: Alexander Bublik in straight sets.
