Nuno Borges vs Moise Kouame prediction
Nuno Borges won his first-round match against Tristan Boyer at Wimbledon to set up a meeting with Jannik Sinner on Centre Court. The Portuguese was competitive against the world number one, and even served for the second set, but he would ultimately lose in straights. Borges is a former champion in Bastad, winning the event after a victory in the final over Rafael Nadal in 2024.
He faces teenager Moise Kouame in his opening match. The Frenchman rose to prominence after his run to the third-round of Roland Garros, as he beat Marin Cilic and Adolfo Daniel Vallejo before a four set loss to Alejandro Tabilo. Kouame has competed in just one tournament since, losing in round one of a Challenger event in Braunschweig last week.
Kouame is an exciting talent, but he is still inconsistent and Borges has the more stable game on this surface. He will be searching for a second title at the Swedish Open.
Nuno Borges vs Moise Kouame tip: Nuno Borges to win 2-0
