Frances Tiafoe vs Alexander Bublik Prediction: Betting on the Kazakhstani

In the first round of the tennis tournament in English Eastbourne, Frances Tiafoe, the world No. 27, will fight with No. 37, Alexander Bublik of Kazakhstan. Bookmakers believe that Frances has the best chance to win the upcoming game.

For Frances the upcoming match will be the second on grass this season. The American started in London, losing to Wawrinka in three sets in his first match. It is obvious that Tiafoe is not doing well. Despite this, bookmakers consider Frances to be the favorite. By the way, last season Frances Tiafoe played 12 matches on grass, getting 9 wins and three losses.

Bublik had four grass matches in 2022. In Stuttgart, the Kazakh beat Kudla but fell to Murray, a future finalist. In London, Alexander defeated Musetti and lost to Cilic. The statistics are not super, but Bublik lost to two quite famous figures, while Tiafoe definitely has problems on grass. Otherwise, how else can one explain the defeat of the veteran Wawrinka?

The start of the season for Tiafoe was unsuccessful, and he has problems with the practice. Bublik is not all right either, but at least he was confident in the first round in 2022, knocking out Kudla and Musetti. There is reason to believe that bookmakers slightly underestimate the Kazakhstani. We think Alexander has a good chance of making it to the second round of the Eastbourne tournament.
