Andrey Rublev and Nuno Borges meet in the round of 32 at French Open on Friday. Nuno Borges is rolling — 3 straight wins, 6 of 10 in recent play. Andrey Rublev brings a 4-match winning streak into this one, 7-3 across the last ten.
Andrey Rublev leads the head-to-head 5-0, and history has a way of mattering in matchups like this one. On clay specifically it reads 2-0 Rublev — worth more than the overall number this week.
Neither the serve numbers nor the ratings separate these two by much, which is why our number stays close to even. A tiebreak or two would surprise nobody, with Borges fractionally more likely to land the big points.
