Nuno Borges vs Felix Auger-Aliassime prediction
Nuno Borges is ranked 46 in the world, and the Portuguese’s campaign began promisingly at the Hong Kong Open as he won his first two matches of the season against Damir Dzumhur and Marin Cilic to make the quarter-finals. He would lose his last eight match against Andrey Rublev, and then lost in round two of the Auckland Open to Eliot Spizzirri.
Felix Auger-Aliassime is ranked comfortably inside the top 10 of the rankings after a stellar run of form towards the backend of 2025. He reached the semi-finals of the US Open, won the European Open indoors and got through to the final of the Paris Masters. These consistent performances led to the Canadian qualifying for the ATP World Tour Finals, where he made the semi-finals. Auger-Aliassime’s best result here was a quarter-final finish four years ago.
Auger-Aliassime is a firm favourite to advance in straight sets against Borges.
