Alexander Bublik vs Illya Marchenko: Preview
Alexander Bublik had a forgettable outing at the US Open this year. He was knocked out only in the second round. However, post that, he scripted a nice comeback in the Astana Open. The Kazakhstani tennis player was able to reach the semifinals of the tournament where he was defeated by unseeded Kwon Soon-woo.
Needless to say, Bublik would have been terribly disappointed after getting knocked out in the semis in the Astana Open and he will step into the Kremlin Cup with a sense of purpose. On the other hand, Ilya Marchenko has started off in an emphatic style at the Kremlin Cup.
Illya defeated Jurij Rodionov and Radu Albot in his two qualifiers and made his way into the main draw. Illya won both his encounters in straight sets and looked in menacing form. It will be interesting to see how he performs against fifth-seeded Bublik.
