His surface strength index on hard courts is modest (17.66) and his mean return index is relatively low (34.30). Bublik’s recent run shows three straight wins in Rotterdam, each decided in three sets (matches of 162, 125 and 142 minutes), indicating resilience but also heavier court time. Auger-Aliassime is ranked 8, with a form index of 71.5 and a substantially higher Elo (4062.0).

Aces and Double Faults Predictions

The aces prediction points to about 10.06 total aces in the match, while the double faults prediction is around 5.63 expected double faults. On a medium-paced hard court, predicted aces are moderate — the surface rewards both big servers and strong returners — and Felix’s substantially higher serve rating should push the ace count up. Given his serve advantage, Felix is likely to contribute a larger share of the predicted aces while keeping Bublik’s return opportunities limited.

Final Prediction

Felix’s edge comes from a superior Elo, markedly better serve and return indices, and lower fatigue from shorter recent matches. The key factor to watch is Felix’s ability to convert his return dominance into breaks against Bublik’s powerful serve.
