Struff responded by taking the second set to level the proceedings. Bublik took control of the match once again, breaking the German’s serve twice in the third set to register a 7-6 (3), 3-6, 6-2 win.
Mpetshi Perricard fought past lucky loser Roman Safiullin in three sets to reach the second round, where he was up against qualifier Gauthier Onclin. The first set went down to the wire, but the Frenchman dominated the ensuing tie-break to take the set. Mpetshi Perricard easily overwhelmed his opponent in the second set, breaking his serve twice for a 7-6 (1), 6-2 victory.

Bublik avoided a second consecutive loss to Struff with a tough three-set win. He rained down 22 aces and won 94 percent of his first serve points. He also made a winning start to his doubles campaign with Nick Kyrgios in Stuttgart. He improved his record for the season to 19-12 with the win.
Mpetshi Perricard was on a three-match losing streak before this tournament. He has now advanced to his third quarterfinal of the season. He has an 8-12 record this season. He has fired a total of 49 aces across his two matches in Stuttgart so far.
Bublik won his first match against Mpetshi Perricard, but the latter has since turned the tables with two consecutive victories. However, the Frenchman has become overly reliant on his massive serve these days. His ground game hasn’t held up that well in comparison. He has a 1-4 record against top 20 players this year. He also has a 7-7 career record on grass.
Bublik, on the other hand, has a 39-20 career record on grass. He can match Mpetshi Perricard with his serve, especially on grass, and can outplay him from the baseline. The Kazakh will be favored to come out on top in this contest.
Pick: Alexander Bublik to win in three sets.
