THE PREDICTION

World number 51 Max Purcell overcame up-and-coming Matteo Arnaldi in three sets on Tuesday to look dialled-in for a proper crack at the Los Cabos Open. The Aussie began an assault on the Challenger circuit this time last season to see his ranking rise as high as 40th late last summer, culminating in a run to the quarter-finals of the Cincinnati Masters, but he has struggled to make any dents so far this season despite some close defeats to the likes of Holger Rune and Casper Ruud. 27-year-old Nuno Borges also enjoyed some strong work on the Challenger circuit last season, ending 2023 with victory on home clay in Maia, Portugal, to bring positive vibes aplenty into the new year. A run to the round of 16 at the Australian Open saw huge upsets over Alejandro Davidovich Fokina and Grigor Dimitrov before defeat in four, to Daniil Medvedev and he beat Dominik Koepfer on Tuesday to look very competitive here. Back Borges to earn at least a set given his better form so far this season, although this match looks set for a decider before a winner is found.

TIP: NUNO BORGES TO WIN A SET
