Taylor Fritz vs Alexander Bublik preview
Fourth seed Taylor Fritz of the United States will take on 13th seed Alexander Bublik of Kazakhstan in the round of 16 of the Paris Masters on Thursday, October 30.
Fritz recently reached the final of the Japan Open, losing to Carlos Alcaraz eventually. He failed to make it deep into the Shanghai Masters and Swiss Indoors at Basel before entering the fray at the Paris Masters. He defeated Aleksandar Vukic of Australia 7-6(4), 6-2 in the round of 32. The American remains one of the favorites to win the title in Paris.
On the other hand, Bublik reached the quarterfinals of the Vienna Open recently before losing to Jannik Sinner. He failed to make it beyond the first round at the Shanghai Masters but beat Corentin Moutet of France 6-3, 7-5 in the round of 32 of the Paris Masters.

Taylor Fritz vs Alexander Bublik prediction
Fritz is the more fancied player of the two, but it has to be remembered that Bublik has won four ATP titles this year. The Kazakh has one of the best touches on the Tour and can be quite a handful with his combination of drop shots and volleys. However, it is his tendency to go for the spectacular that can prove to be his bane.
Fritz, meanwhile, is as solid a player as a top-10 player should be. His serve and forehand are among the best in the business, and he should be able to win a lot of points on Thursday with the help of those shots. Bublik might find it really difficult to deal with the 28-year-old American's groundstrokes from the baseline. Fritz should be able to win after a fight.
