Bubliks Hates Clay
If there was any doubt whether Alexander Bublik hates clay he removed any doubt last week. After a win over Stan Wawrinka in Monte-Carlo, Bublik publicly said to the crowd ‘I hate this surface’ and he repeated it after the match saying that he hates clay because he feels like a whale on it.
He was referencing his movement which at times can be rather bad but the player from Kazakhstan can be quite deliberate with the way he speaks. He might not like the surface but he can certainly play at a decent level. His serve is crucial and he generally plays better in Madrid cause the ball travels faster due to the altitude.
In Barcelona he won’t have that added bonus he will still try to win this match especially since he aces a player who doesn’t like the surface that much as well.

Ruusuvuori Finding Success on Clay
Emil Ruusuvuori is not a fan of clay for many of the same reasons as Bublik. He doesn’t move that well on the surface and his biggest weapon, his serve, is not very useful on it. Despite that, he is playing rather well recently finding some comfort and looking better and better with each much.
Luckily for him, he will face an equally challenged player on the surface in Bublik and he will certainly care more about winning the match than his opponent. That puts him in a good spot against Bublik who did not get that one match in like Ruusuvuori.
Everything will be kind of new to him although he did play in the doubles and lost of course. So how will this shape up, find out below.
Bublik v Ruusuvuori Prediction and Tip
Honestly, I’m going to just say it out loud and reason later. I like Emil in this spot and I like him very much. First of all, he will certainly care about this match much more. Bublik is the better and more complete player but motivation is very important for a player to win a match.
I do think Bublik will put up a fight so expect 3 sets here and I can also see a universe in which Bublik wins this match. However, that tiny bit of more willingness to go all out by Emil might be the decisive factor. So to reiterate once more, take Ruusuvuori and we’ll see what will happen.
Tip: Ruusuvuori to win in three sets: 3/1 (Click Here to Bet with bet365)
