Nuno Borges vs Luciano Darderi prediction
Nuno Borges continued his strong record at the Swedish Open as he beat former world number three Grigor Dimitrov in straight sets to book his place in the quarter-finals. Both players exchanged breaks at the start of the match, but Borges soon took control and went on to win 6-4 6-2. He now has seven victories out of eight at the tournament.
The Portuguese will now take on Luciano Darderi. The 2025 champion began his defence with an impressive win over Daniel Altmaier. Darderi conceded just one break point and broke right at the start of the match as he won 6-4 6-4. The Italian has not been in the best of form since his run to the quarter-finals in Rome, but that was his finest display in quite some time.
Borges leads the head-to-head 3-0 and 1-0 on clay. They faced each other just last month on grass at the Mallorca Championships, with Borges winning in straight sets. This should be a very competitive encounter between two past champions at this tournament.
Nuno Borges vs Luciano Darderi tip: Both players to win a set
