Alexander Bublik vs Maxime Cressy prediction

Sunday's final promises to be an exciting one between two of the best servers in the game, both of whom have a decent record on grass. While Bublik has won 20 out of 32 matches on the surface, Cressy has a win percentage of 66.67% (10 out of 15). The Kazakh has served 49 aces so far in Newport, though he has not always been on point with his serve - notably registering 16 double-faults against Jack Sock in the opening round. He cannot afford to do the same in the final as losing any service points against Cressy could prove to be costly. While Bublik will use the occasional underarm serve and trick shots, Cressy loves the serve-and-volley. The French-born American is a very good server as well as a good returner. While he has strong groundstrokes, he is at his best when at the net. The final promises to be exciting and it won't be easy for either player. However, Cressy should manage to edge out Bublik and win his maiden ATP title. Pick: Cressy to win in three sets. Poll : Who will win the 2022 ATP finals?
