LiontipsBublik vs Martinez. Predictions and Betting Tips for ATP Estoril Open
Command Analysis
Bublik rarely plays on clay. That's reasonable, because slow surfaces don't fit to his attacking style of play. Alexander played at Barcelona Open last week.
At Spain Bublik only advanced through first round, where he sensationally beat local player Alejandro Davidovich (2:6, 7:5, 6:2). In second round he lost to Alex De Minaur (6:7, 2:6).
Martinez, in comparision with Bublik, played majority of his matches on clay. At Estoril tournament, Pedro already got familiar with local courts in qualification rounds.
In first of them Martinez dealt with Botic van de Zandschulp (6:4, 6:7, 6:1) and then beat Swiss player Marc-Andrea Husler (7:5, 7:5) in second qualification round.

Tip and bets
Martinez has more matches on clay and that's why he's a clear favourite. Bublik is more used to play on hard surface, but he also started to improve his game on clay recently.
Though it would be very hard for Bublik to beat the Spaniard. Martinez already got familiar with Estoril courts and won two matches on qualification, so we expect that he will be in better shape before an upcoming game.
Our prediction - Martinez to win.
Despite Bublik's lack of experience on clay surface, he won't give this match away easily. Alexander has a powerful serve, which saved him many times. We expect that this clash will take long.
Our second prediction - total over 22 games.
