ATP Eastbourne – Alexander Bublik vs Francisco Comesaña Preview
🧠 Form & Context
Alexander Bublik
🌱 Arrives red-hot on grass after lifting the Halle ATP 500 trophy, defeating Medvedev in the final and taking down top players like Sinner and Khachanov en route.
📈 That title pushed him up 15 ranking spots to No. 30 and injected serious momentum into a season that had previously been hit-or-miss on hard courts.
🎩 At 1.98 m, Bublik bombs first serves (18 aces per match average in Halle) and mixes in circus-like shots—drop shots, tweeners—that flourish on quick turf.
📍 He’s had solid success in Eastbourne too: two quarterfinals and a round of 16 in his last three visits. Devonshire Park clearly suits his style.
Francisco Comesaña
🏺 This marks his tour-level grass debut, and the transition may be tough. He’s 0–0 on grass in 2025 and 2–2 career in main draws on this surface.
🚀 Still, 2025 has been a breakthrough year. Comesaña surged into the Top 65 after reaching the Rio semifinals and Madrid third round—both on clay.
🔄 He’ll need to adapt quickly: his topspin-heavy forehand and high-backlift backhand may not translate smoothly to grass. His serve (under 195 km/h) won’t offer many freebies.
🤝 First career meeting between these two.
🔍 Match Breakdown
Bublik is in his element, while Comesaña is in uncharted territory. Expect the Kazakh to dominate with serve variety and grass-court instincts.
