Bublik Aiming to Bounce Back
Alexander Bublik won the Hong Kong Open in January to break into the Top 10. He lost to Alex de Minaur in the Australian Open fourth round and reached the semi-finals in Rotterdam.
The 28-year-old exited early in Indian Wells and Miami before switching to clay in Monte Carlo. He had few problems getting past Gael Monfils and Jiri Lehecka before a 6-3 6-0 defeat to Carlos Alcaraz.
The Kazakh lost his opening match in Munich, beaten 6-4 6-2 by Alex Molcan who went on to reach the semis.
Tsitsipas Slipping Down the Rankings
Stefanos Tsitsipas had a poor start to the year, reaching one quarter-final which came in Doha.
The Greek lost his opening two matches on clay, the first a 7-5 6-4 loss to Francisco Cerundolo in Monte Carlo. He surrendered a lead against Fabian Marozsan in Munich, saving 14/15 break points in a 3-6 7-6 6-4 defeat.
The 27-year-old came through a close clash in Madrid, getting past lucky loser Patrick Kypson 3-6 7-6 7-6. He won just 44% of his 2nd serves, saving two break points at 5-5 in the second set.
Verdict
Alexander Bublik is a temperamental player but I think the conditions in Madrid will suit his game. The Kazakh won two tournaments on clay last year and should have too much for Stefanos.
