While Bublik looks to end his unwanted losing streak against Cilic, the 36-year-old would certainly not make things easy for Bublik. So let&rsquo;s break down their career stats and predict who&rsquo;d prevail in this competition using the most accurate betting odds from <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-BetMGM\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}' rel=\"nofollow\">BetMGM<\/a>.<\/p><p>Things haven&rsquo;t been easy for Bublik on the hard court this year. The 28-year-old has lost around 10 games on the hard court this year. However, apart from them, Bublik has been on an upward swing with 3 title wins in 2025. However, his relative lack of success on the hard court could turn this into a difficult matchup for the world No. 24.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Alexander Bublik &#127472;&#127487; is expected to go deep in the draw at the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/USOpen?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>#USOpen<\/a><br>Here goes his season highlights: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/agibmTRExT\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/agibmTRExT<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Asian Tennis Federation (@asian_tennis) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/asian_tennis\/status\/1959824562733945147?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>August 25, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>Marin Cilic has slowed down a lot this year. With a 5-5 record in the ATP Tour, Cilic has just been able to stay in the competition. However, the 36-year-old did win a hard-court tournament in 2024. But it cannot be denied that time is slowly catching up to Cilic. And perhaps that&rsquo;s why, despite a great record against Bublik, this US Open matchup looks difficult for the former US Open champ.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Alexander Bublik vs Marin Cilic Head-to-Head&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2><p>Alexander Bublik and Marin Cilic have faced each other three times till now.

Baseball, Tennis, and Football (or Soccer) have been closest to my heart. From Rafael Nadal\\'s never-say-die attitude to Roger Federer\\'s beautiful backhand, I\\'ve seen it all. Prior to the Playoffs, I\\'ve worked in EssentiallySports and Pro Football and Sports Network.\u00a0\u00a0 My only goal is the cover the sport not just from the lens of a journalist but also a fan. Perhaps that\\'s why I love indulging in some fun banter and always try to inculcate a debate through my work. That\\'s why I encourage the readers to express their views freely - after all, that\\'s what makes sports fun.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/sanskardubey\/","https:\/\/x.com\/sanskardubey_"],"url":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/author\/sanskardubey\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/624298"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/48"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=624298"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/624298\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":624326,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/624298\/revisions\/624326"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/624307"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=624298"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=624298"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=624298"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
