Read on if you want to get the best betting tips for Murray vs Borges math and Tennis Predictions Today.

Over 21.5 Total Games  

Murray had some trouble getting through the quarter-finals of the Rothesay Open. Although their duel ended in two sets, there were a total of 25 games. In the last two duels, Nuno Borges averages 23.5 games per match. It is very likely that this duel will have more than 21 games.

Murray to Win 

All the opponents that the Portuguese player faced in the three previous rounds are not even in the top 150. So Andy Murray will be the first top player he will face this month.

Last year Murray finished with a 74% win rate in grey, while Nuno finished with only 50%. Based on these facts, we predict that it will be Andy who will advance to the Rothesay Open Final.

Andy Murray vs Nuno Borges Preview

Take a look at Andy Murray´s and Nuno Borges’s achievements so far and other Nottingham Open predictions.

Andy Murray 

So far the British tennis player has won all three Nottingham Open matches in straight sets. Only in his last match, against Swiss Dominic Striker, he came close to losing a set, but Andy managed to win both sets 7-6 7-5.

After a season with irregular results, Murray is at his best playing on grass. That makes eight consecutive wins for the 36-year-old, who has already won the Surbiton Challenger and is close to doing the same in Nottingham.

Nuno Borges

Faced with a dearth of good results in higher-ranked tournaments, the Portuguese tennis player has had success in a couple of Challenger tournaments, where he managed to lift the trophy. The previous year he was not very lucky in grass court tournaments and finished with 3 wins and 3 losses. 

So far he has only lost 1 of the 7 sets he has played at the Nottingham Open. In the previous round, he had his second straight-sets win, this time against Japanese Sho Shimabukuro.

Murray vs Borges Head to Head

This will be the first time Andy Murray will face Nuno Borges. There is a 10-year difference between the two players. The British player is ranked No. 44 in the ATP rankings, and at one time was No. 1, while Borges is ranked No. 73, and has never been in the top 60. This season the two have had similar performances. Andy won 21 times and lost 9, while Nuno won 22 and lost 11.
