Andrey Rublev vs Nuno Borges prediction
Andrey Rublev endured a disastrous run across the Sunshine Double as he failed to win a match. He was defeated in the opening round of both events at Indian Wells and Miami, losing to Gabriel Diallo and Alejandro Tabilo respectively. Rublev will hope to fare a lot better at Monte-Carlo, having won the event in 2023, while he also reached another final in 2021.
He plays against Nuno Borges in the first-round. The Portuguese’s losing run was extended to three matches following an early loss at the Tiriac Open to Damir Dzumhur. Borges’ season began with a run to the quarter-finals of the Hong Kong Open, but he has failed to replicate that at tour-level in the following events.
This is their first meeting on clay, but Rublev leads the head-to-head 3-0 and has not dropped a set against Borges. The Russian usually performs well here, and he’ll view this as an ideal opportunity to get back on track.
