Henrique Rocha vs Nuno Borges Prediction & Picks - ATP Bastad Open

Prediction published on 7/17/24, 5:57 AM by Bradley Gibbs | Modified on 7/17/24 at 6:07 AM in Tennis Picks

On Thursday, there's more action coming to us from the ATP event in Bastad, Sweden, where there's an all Portuguese clash between Henrique Rocha and Nuno Borges. Rocha, as the lower-ranked player, will be looking to pull off a surprise win, while Borges, now back on a clay surface following his brief foray on grass will be hoping to build some consistency. This is seemingly a good opportunity for the higher-ranked player to gain momentum ahead of tougher tests.

Our Henrique Rocha vs Nuno Borges Prediction

What can only be described as a very brief switch to grass courts didn't go so well for Nuno Borges, who is likely very thankful for this return to clay-court tennis. He made his return at this tournament with a simple win over Pellegrino, who is ranked 29 places above his opponent here, winning in straight sets. That victory bodes well ahead of this clash against his countryman. Henrique Rocha enjoyed a good run at the Challenger event in Trieste (Italy) recently, reaching the semi-finals, but this is a step up, one that he is unlikely to take in his stride. Given Borges' recent form against lower-ranked players on clay, this looks like a huge opportunity, and I'm just not sure that the early odds refelct that accurately enough. Therefore, betting on the higher-ranked man to come out on top offers some value for money at early BetMGM odds. Our Prediction: Nuno Borges to Win.
