Marin Cilic is back at the US Open and will begin his tournament in the first round against 23rd seed Alexander Bublik. This is their first meeting in three seasons. Read on for our prediction of the match.
Bublik hasn’t progressed past the first round at Flushing Meadows in the last two seasons. With two first-round Grand Slam losses this year, winning this tie is imperative for the Kazakh. Bublik is ending a month-long break from the tour.
He hasn’t competed since being crowned champion at Kitzbuhel. The 28-year-old has been in terrific form this season and, with 35 victories, has also won titles in Halle and Gstaad. Bublik starts a new week having leapt up to 21st in the live ranking.
Marin Cilic is ending a two-year hiatus from a tournament where he has had tremendous success. The 36-year-old is a former US Open champion and has made at least the quarter-finals here five times.
Though going all the way might be a far more difficult task, Cilic will be determined not to suffer an early exit. The Croat, who has competed largely in the Challenger circuit, had a stunning run to the fourth round at Wimbledon.
Cilic, who is up to 57th in the live ranking, is 3-0 up against Bublik in head-to-head records.

Our Alexander Bublik vs Marin Cilic Prediction
Marin Cilic has never lost to Bublik. He's won three times in this fixture. However, he isn’t the same player who won those three matches, as age and fitness concerns have taken a toll on him. We still expect him to put up a stern fight, though, given that he is a former US Open champion.
Bublik hasn’t played since the clay season and might be a bit rusty, which likely will see Cilic steal a set. Our prediction for Alexander Bublik v Marin Cilic is for Bublik to win in four sets.
