Marin Cilic vs Nuno Borges prediction

The evergreen Marin Cilic was in impressive form as he downed fellow veteran Adrian Mannarino in Hong Kong. 

The Croatian romped to a 6-3 6-2 victory to set up a testing clash with eighth seed Nuno Borges.

The Portuguese ace was also impressive as he downed Damir Dzumhur 6-4 6-3.

This is their second meeting with Cilic prevailing in three sets in Estoril five years ago. 

Borges is a different proposition nowadays but Cilic has also fought his way back up the rankings and there’s a good chance this will be another tight affair that may well go the distance.
