De Minaur has firmly established himself as a top 10 player over the last 12 months and will be aiming to repeat his Roland Garros run from last year, which saw him reach a first quarter-final at the tournament. However, it will be tough to replicate that run, with the likes of Jakub Mensik and Jack Draper potentially waiting in the third and fourth rounds respectively - and if he survives those, nemesis and World No. 1 Jannik Sinner is once again his seeded quarter-final opponent.
But, first and foremost, de Minaur has to navigate past Bublik, who is capable of anything on court. At the same time, it's a good matchup for the Demon, who's speed, consistency and ability to get that extra ball back frustrates Bublik. De Minaur has won both previous meetings in straight sets and has won his last 20 matches against players ranked outside the top 30 at Grand Slams - backing the Aussie to deliver another workmanlike performance and prevail in straights.
Head To Head
De Minaur leads 2-0 in their completed previous meetings, winning 76(3) 62 in the first round of Barcelona 2021 before a 75 60 triumph in the third round of Indian Wells last year.
Alex de Minaur Form
De Minaur comes into this encounter with a 27-10 record on the season, remaining inside the top 10 but still chasing a first title of 2025.
The Aussie started the season with a quarter-final showing at the Australian Open and runner-up finish at Rotterdam before continuing his superb consistency into the European clay swing.
After reaching his maiden Masters 1000 semi-final at Monte Carlo, de Minaur reached the quarter-finals of Barcelona and the R16 at both Madrid and Rome.
Hoping to back up his run to the Roland Garros quarter-finals from last year, de Minaur got his campaign up and running with a 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 opening round win over the dangerous Laslo Djere, coming back from 2-5 down and saving four set points in the third to prevail.
Alexander Bublik Form
Bublik heads into this clash with a negative 8-13 record at tour-level for the season, forcing him to drop down to Challenger level in order to pick up some wins and restore confidence.
Following a poor hardcourt swing to open the season, many thought things would only get worse for Bublik as he transitioned onto his least-preferred surface of clay.
However, Bublik has won 11 of his last 14 matches on clay at all levels, including capturing the Challenger title in Turin a couple of weeks ago.
Bublik went down in the first round of Hamburg last week to Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard, but was untroubled in his Roland Garros opener, crushing James Duckworth 6-2 6-4 6-4.

Demon to win in straights.
