Being at his Career-high of rank 33, Alexander Bublik currently has one ATP title under his name. In his first two initial tournaments of the year, Bublik couldn’t make it past the second round. However, the Kazakhstan player officially lifted his maiden trophy and will be recognized as an ATP Championship after brilliantly defeating one of the top players in the world, Alexander Zverev (6-4, 6-3), in the finals of the ATP Montpellier Open.

Bublik couldn’t sustain his momentum from the win in France to his following tournaments. Just before the Indian Wells, Alexander played in the Dubai Tennis Championship but got eliminated in the first round itself to the fifth seed, Hubert Hurkacz (3-6, 1-6). Since the Kazakhstan player is the thirty-first seed, he will be directly playing in the second round against Andy Murray.

Former World No. 1 Andy Murray, except for his performance in the Sydney International tournament where he was on the brink of winning the title but went down in the finals against Aslan Karatsev (3-6, 3-6), hasn’t displayed much stability. In all other tournaments, the 19-time ATP titleholder got eliminated before he could reach the third round. In his last game, the Dubai Tennis Championship, the Britisher lost in the second round to Jannick Sinner (5-7, 2-6) after beating Christopher O’Connell in the round of 32. In the BNP Paribas Open, Murray overcame his first-round opponent Taro Daniel (1-6, 6-2, 6-4).

It has been over a month since the maiden win of Alexander Bublik. He competed in three other tournaments between then and now but couldn’t produce the results he did in France. Andy Murray, on the other, commented on his game to be disappointing in the Australian Open. He has also displayed an unstable game. But the Britisher has the upper hand in terms of head-to-head.

Prediction: Andy Murray is expected to win in two sets.
