THE PREDICTION

This will be a fascinating first encounter between home favourite Nuno Borges, carrying the hopes of a growing Portuguese fervour for tennis at his home tournament in Estoril, and third seed Lorenzo Musetti, who will be elated at returning to his favoured surface. 27-year-old Borges broke inside the top 50 on tour after a huge run to the round of 16 at the Australian Open in January, in form that saw him win a Challenger title in his home town of Maia late last year, but it remains to be seen if he can transfer that level to clay after showing little promise on the surface last summer.

World number 24 Musetti has endured a ropy time of it on hardcourts since last August but he is certainly one of the most naturally gifted clay-courters on tour. Borges came back from a set down to oust Lucas Pouille in an early scare and he will have to improve to oust the Italian, whose run to the last 16 in Miami included a forewarning upset of Ben Shelton. Back Musetti to edge through outright.

TIP: LORENZO MUSETTI TO WIN
