Alexander Bublik vs Juan Manuel Cerundolo Prediction
Bublik has an 18–6 clay record at the ATP and Grand Slam levels in 2025. He has averaged 8.7 aces per clay match, winning 75% of first-serve points and holding serve in 83% of service games.
His game is majorly based on first-strike tennis, frequent use of drop shots, and high first-serve efficiency. He has not dropped a set in the ongoing event, and in the semifinal vs Cazaux, he managed to win 87% of first-serve points and hit 12 aces.
Meanwhile, Cerundolo averages 4.4 aces per clay match, wins 64% of first-serve points, and 49% of second-serve points. His game showcases the use of baseline depth and left-handed topspin to build points, but offers fewer free points on serve. The Argentine has dropped three sets in four matches and won just 66% of first-serve points in his semifinal win over Ignacio Buse.
The altitude in Gstaad (1,050m)slightly favors Bublik’s serve-based game, but Cerundolo’s heavy left-handed topspin has been effective in longer rallies. The winner of this match will claim 250 ATP points and just over $1,02,330 in prize money.
Prediction: Bublik to win in straight sets
