Wednesday's Estoril round of 16 pits Nuno Borges against Roman Andres Burruchaga on clay. Nuno Borges has won 6 of the last 10. Roman Andres Burruchaga comes in at 4 wins from the last ten.
The two have never played — a first meeting always adds a layer of uncertainty the numbers can't fully capture.
Borges's 72.2% behind the first serve (against 65.5% for Burruchaga) means break chances should be scarce in one direction. Borges comes in off a compressed schedule; Burruchaga comes in off a compressed schedule. A tiebreak or two would surprise nobody, with Borges fractionally more likely to land the big points.
