Our Botic Van De Zandschulp vs Alexander Bublik Prediction

Fearless Forecast: Alexander Bublik tops Botic Van De Zandschulp 6-4, 7-5

Reasoning: Van De Zandschulp is a tough opening match opponent for Bublik, but the Kazakh should win this match given how good he was in 2025. The Dutch holds a 2-1 head-to-head series lead, yet Bublik dismantled him in their last meeting in the semifinals of the Kitzbuhel Open, 6-3, 6-4. This match gives Bublik the platform to assert his newfound mastery against an opponent who presented him trouble in the past.
