Coric vs Bublik Prediction

We have an interesting first-round match here featuring former Halle champion Borna Coric against the mercurial Alexander Bublik. On his day, the Kazakh can be one the finest shotmakers in the game, and is always a good bet to expect him to play his A-game on grass. Last week, he was outclassed by Jannik Sinner in Den Bosch, and went on an underarm serving spree in that match, losing 4-6, 2-6. But this first-round clash looks winnable, at least on paper. Coric was well off pace in his first match on the lawns, being outdueled by Mackenzie McDonald at the Rosmalen Championships. Considering that the Croat had not played on grass since 2019, he was understandably shaky and rusty. I can’t see him making quick adjustments in just his second match, so Bublik might be worth a punt.
