One of tennis' most exciting and entertaining players will be on show at the ATP event in Miami on Friday afternoon, as Alexander Bublik takes on Matteo Arnaldi, who is quickly making a name for himself as a young player to watch out for. After beating Frenchman Arthur Fils in straight sets during the first round, the Italian may just fancy himself to get the better of a player ranked 20 places above him, and I'd be inclined to agree with that.

Alexander Bublik - Matteo Arnaldi Key Points

Our Alexander Bublik vs Matteo Arnaldi Prediction

Everybody who follows tennis knows what Alexander Bublik is capable of. Often likened to fellow maverick Nick Kyrgios, Bublik is an entertainer, a player capable of the audacious and when he's firing on all cylinders, he can cut it with the very best. The trouble is, he's hugely inconsistent, while his will to win sometimes comes into question. In contrast, Matteo Arnaldi is a hungry young player who has pushed some of the very best in the game recently. He took a set off of Carlos Alcaraz in his penultimate match, showing bags of both tenacity and quality, while he was in fine form when beating another up-and-comer in Arthur Fils yesterday. That should hold him in good stead here against a Bublik that hasn't played a competitive match for 11 days and didn't exactly look in great form when losing in straight sets when last seen. All in all, the Italian deserves a bit more respect and is worth betting on to beat his higher-ranked opponent.
