Frances Tiafoe vs Nuno Borges prediction
Frances Tiafoe reached his first quarter-final of the season in Delray Beach last week, though he was unable to go any further after a defeat to Learner Tien. He produced a battling display against Zachary Svajda in the previous round, and he looked on course for a statement win against Tien as he served for the match. However, the 20-year-old would come through with two successive breaks of serve to dump Tiafoe out of the tournament in dramatic fashion.
Tiafoe will hope for more wins under his belt in Acapulco, and he faces Nuno Borges in round one. The Portuguese lost in round one of Delray Beach to Coleman Wong. This followed two defeats in Davis Cup qualifying, and Borges is currently on a four match losing run.
Tiafoe has the edge in the head-to-head after a win in Estoril four years ago. The American will be the favourite to win against an out-of-form Borges for the second time.
