Second seed Alexander Bublik begins his run in Geneva in the second round against the qualifier Edas Butvilas. This marks the first time they face off. Bublik is the favorite but has struggled a bit lately, dropping a set or more in four of his last five games. That is a basis for a prediction for this to go the distance.

Edas Butvilas is having a strong week and season and will fancy his chances of reaching the quarter-finals. The 21-year-old, who is making his tour debut, has won three straight fixtures and has done so without dropping a set.

Butvilas defeated Lorenzo Sonego in the first round for his first tour victory. He has now won 21 matches this term, 12 on clay, and shot up 22 places to 231st in the live rankings.

Alexander Bublik arrives in Geneva seeking to avoid a series of early exits in this event. The Kazakh has never won a tie in Geneva, losing in the first round in both of his previous appearances.

Recent struggles, however, suggest it will be much easier said than done. Bublik has won one of his last five outings and is surprisingly having a shaky run on clay after a stellar run last season.

Last year, the 28-year-old won 23 clay court duels; so far this term, he has compiled a 3-4 record on such surfaces. The world number 10, who started the season by lifting the Hong Kong title, lost in the third round in Rome last time out.
