Jenson Brooksby vs Alexander Bublik prediction
Brooksby has produced some fine tennis this season and is someone to look out for in the coming years. However, Bublik is more than capable of giving him a run for his money.
Brooksby is a counterpuncher who loves to prolong points. The American is capable of wearing out his opponents and forcing errors out of them.
The Kazakh's biggest weapon, on the other hand, is his serve and he will look to make the most out of it. Bublik will also try to catch Brooksby off-guard with his underarm serves.
The match promises to be a tightly-contested one, with the American likely to come out on top.
Pick: Brooksby to win in three sets.
