Two unseeded players will battle it out in round one of the National Bank Open in Montreal. Nuno Borges faces Aleksandar Kovacevic who has suffered five first round exits this year. Our prediction is Borges will increase that total to six.
24th seed Tomas Martin Etcheverry will be the second round opponent for the winner.
Nuno Borges has won seven of his 15 outdoor hard court matches this year. His best run on the ATP Tour this year has been a semi-final in the grass court tournament played in Mallorca. Only twice has he made it past round two of an ATP Tour outdoor hard court tournament this year with one quarter-final.
The one previous meeting was played on this surface on the Challenger Tour three years ago.
Kovacevic won that match in straight sets but both went to a tie-break. A side bet on one here could be successful..
Aleksandar Kovacevic has also struggled for wins on this surface in 2026. He's only won six of his 14 matches with the last five being lost. Last week saw him lose to Cameron Norrie in round one of the Los Cabos Open, winning just five games.
Eight of his last nine matches on all surfaces have ended in defeat.
