ATP Kitzbuhel Finals: Bublik vs. Cazaux odds, prediction, and pick

Gambling content 21+. The New York Post may receive an affiliate commission if you sign up through our links. Read our editorial standards for more information. Are we finally seeing the rise of Alexander Bublik? Always considered one of the most talented players on the ATP Tour, Bublik's inconsistency and temperament held him back from taking a leap and being a real force on the circuit. The Kazakh would pick up titles here and there, but he was never consistent enough to crack the top 10 and become a threat to win a Grand Slam. That may be changing. Bublik won a title at ATP Gstaad last weekend, and now has a chance to go back-to-back on the clay with a win over Arthur Cazaux in Kitzbuhel. A victory over the Frenchman would give him three trophies in his last four tournaments. As you'd expect, Bublik is a clear -300 favorite over Cazaux on Saturday morning. In true Bublik fashion, his one blip during this run of form came in a first-round defeat to Jaume Munar at Wimbledon, a tournament that should suit his game better than any other event. But since then, Bublik has only dropped one set. He is a perfect 6-0 in Kitzbuhel. Arthur Cazaux is in his first ATP Tour Final. AP One of Bublik's straight-set victories in Gstaad came against Cazaux in a 6-1, 7-5 whitewash. In addition to his red-hot form and the recent head-to-head advantage, Bublik also has an experience edge over Cazaux. This is the 13th ATP Final for the big-serving Bublik, but just the first for Cazaux. The former is 6-7 in his career in showpieces, but he's won five of his last six matches with a trophy on the line. Get the lowdown on the Best USA Sports Betting Sites and Apps When Bublik has his game working, he can beat anybody on the planet. And right now, he could be in the form of his life. Not only should bettors back Bublik to win in straight sets on Saturday morning, but they should also consider a bet on Bublik to win the US Open at 100/1.

De Minaur breezes into third round at Wimbledon after losing first set

He lost just four of 30 points at the net, with his trusty down-the-line backhand enabling him to not only gain a foothold in the rallies, but also move into the court repeatedly. Cazaux played at a high level in patches, but was unable to maintain it when de Minaur went up a notch, most critically in the match-defining ninth game of the third set. The 22-year-old Frenchman recovered well from a lopsided second set, where the Australian star largely steamrolled him, to lead 4-3 in the third and threaten to mount a major challenge. A tense struggle ensued on Cazaux's next service game, with de Minaur coming out on top in a captivating rally despite his French foe's wonderful defence to bring up a break point, only for Cazaux to send down an ace and temporarily stave off the danger. Cazaux failed to convert his own game point soon after, then collapsed on consecutive points that effectively decided the contest. He dumped a straightforward forehand volley into the net to face another break point, then double-faulted at the worst time – missing by about a metre – to gift de Minaur the chance to serve out the third set. Australia's No.1 was locked in by that stage, and drilled an inside-out forehand winner to charge two-sets-to-one ahead. By then, de Minaur had already absorbed Cazaux's best punch, and breezed to the finish line without conceding another game. For all his waywardness in the opening set, de Minaur should be satisfied that his tennis is moving in the right direction after an underwhelming period where he admitted he struggled with mental fatigue and had to shift his focus from being so rankings-obsessed. The 26-year-old awaits the winner between 21st-seeded Czech Tomas Machac – whom de Minaur beat in three sets at the Monte-Carlo Masters on clay in April – and Danish qualifier August Holmgren, who is contesting his maiden grand slam at age 27. Loading Three more Australians will try to join de Minaur and Jordan Thompson on Thursday in the round of 32 at the grasscourt major. Rinky Hijikata takes on 10th-seeded American Ben Shelton, while Aleks Vukic will step onto Wimbledon's fabled centre court to face world No.1 Jannik Sinner. Daria Kasatkina, the No.16 seed in the women's draw, rounds out the Australian contingent on court three against Irina-Camelia Begu.

Demon sidesteps seeds carnage with Wimbledon win

Alex de Minaur has been left relieved to blast back from being a set down and avoid joining the legion of seeds who've already been scattered at this shock-laden Wimbledon. In perfect sunny conditions on Thursday morning, Australia's big hope brushed off a woeful first set against French qualifier Arthur Cazaux before regrouping, asserting his superiority and eventually prevailing 4-6 6-2 6-4 6-0 to ease into the third round again. Fifteen of the 32 men's seeds had already fallen by the wayside in the first two rounds and, momentarily, there were concerns for de Minaur after a woeful first set in which he made 14 unforced errors and couldn't find a first serve for love nor money. "It just shows you, this sport, it's not easy out there. Anything can happen on any given day," smiled de Minaur on court, after being asked about the proliferation of big names going out early. "It definitely wasn't an easy match and there some tough moments out there but I'm super excited to be back in the third round." De Minaur had never been knocked out of a grand slam by anyone as lowly-ranked as No.115 Cazaux but the alarm bells were ringing once the fluid server from Montpellier took advantage on a packed No.2 Court. But urged on at courtside by his Davis Cup captain and last Australian men's Wimbledon winner Lleyton Hewitt, de Minaur stirred, nearly doubled his first-serve percentage of 33 percent to 63 percent and swept to level the set scores. Cazaux, who'd knocked out de Minaur's old colleague from his Sydney junior days, Adam Walton, in five sets in the opening round, had banged down one serve timed at 147mph (236.5km) in that win. The big delivery got him out of trouble constantly as 'Demon' put the pressure on and earned six break points during the second set, finally earning the key break at 4-4 when the Frenchman threw in a double fault. Serving for it, de Minaur sealed the stanza with a thrilling inside-out forehand tracer, before delivering an uncharacteristic fist-pumping roar towards the crowd, who were largely rooting for the fiance of British player Katie Boulter. "It feels like a second home slam for me," de Minaur told the crowd. "The last few years, I've definitely felt the love here.' Cazaux's spirit was broken after the second set as de Minaur felt freed up to demonstrate why he's determined to surpass his quarter-final berth in last year's event, feeding the dispirited Frenchman a 41-minute 'bagel' set and progressing to the last-32 in two hours 48 minutes. In the third round, de Minaur will be up against either Czech 21st seed Tomas Machac or Danish qualifier August Holmgren, who were in action later on Thursday.
