Alexander Bublik vs Tomas Machac Tips

Alexander Bublik has shown serious intent this season, especially after his impressive run at Roland Garros. After a solid win over De Minaur, he carried that momentum forward and shocked the tennis world by defeating the world number one. Riding that high, Bublik now finds himself in a favorable position against Machac, particularly on grass ??' a surface that suits his explosive serve and unpredictable style. Given his current form and confidence, backing Bublik to win feels like a sharp, value-driven call.

Macháč defeated Marozsán 2-0 in the round of 16, advancing with a solid performance. In contrast, Bublik had to battle through a deciding set to eliminate Sinner. Their previous meeting was also tightly contested, with Bublik edging out Macháč in a decisive set. Last year, Bublik was eliminated in the round of 16 of this tournament by Christopher Eubanks.

Bublik pulled off a major upset in the round of 16, defeating Sinner 2-1 in a hard-fought match. He could be feeling the effects of that exhausting encounter. In contrast, Macháč advanced with a straight-sets win over Marozsán, so the Czech player should be fresher of the two. Macháč will also be motivated by a desire for revenge, having lost 2-1 to Bublik in Dubai last year.

Bublik likely snatches the first set. He starts aggressively, uses big serves effectively on grass, and Machac often needs time to adapt to Bublik's variation.
