Hubert Hurkacz v Alexander Bublik: Prediction
Keeping their forms in mind, nobody seems favorite right before the beginning of the match. However, Hurkacz slightly has the upper edge as he knows how to play well under pressure. Also, he has enjoyed more success on grass than Bublik.
It will be wrong to say that Bublik will be start the match as the underdog. He is surely on cloud nine after defeating Dimitrov and can turn the tables around if he manages to find some early momentum.
Fans know that the match can swing anyway and thus, will be an exciting contest to watch. Who will advance to the pre-quarters of Wimbledon 2021?
