Serious as Bublik
The Kazakh still has a trick up his sleeve if he doesn't do anything stupid.
Bublik's first round was expected because we didn't really know what state we would find him in since he didn't prepare for this tournament. After his titles on clay he took a break, I thought he was going to enjoy himself and rest before preparing for this tournament properly, except that apparently the guy really enjoyed himself and almost took a complete vacation. He played well against Cilic but I remember a little sentence after his victory "when I arrived on the court I had the feeling that it was going to be a good day". Given his lack of preparation I am quite worried because on a bad day he could fall back into his bad habits especially since he doesn't seem to be in the mood to perform as he should here. In my opinion he takes match after match, and now it's Schoolkate who is waiting for him. The Australian beat Sonego in a match full of twists and turns. He went for this match with countless attempts at the net. He is comfortable in this area and this is a big point before facing Bublik. I give the Kazakh a huge advantage in terms of his level of play and physical freshness, but be careful not to get caught up in a complicated match. When Schoolkate plays well, he is dangerous.
