The “match of the round” in the quarterfinal of the Hong Kong Open has to be the game between Andrey Rublev and Nuno Borges. It's world no.16 versus 45 in their third career meeting, which the former leads in. Is Rublev going to make it 3-0 in their H2H, or is it Borges’s time to shine? Check out our match prediction below.

Rublev is an accomplished man with 17 ATP Tour singles titles to his name. And one of those titles just happens to be the Hong Kong Open in 2024, its revival year. Rublev missed out on a chance to defend his title the following year due to a RO16 exit to Fabian Marozsan.

But the Russian now has a strong chance at the title once more after beating Yibing Wu to reach the quarterfinals. Rublev is on form after winning six of his last seven singles. But will be especially confident against Borges, a player he's won in every past meeting and beat in the Doha Tour to win his latest title.

However, Borges is already tearing through the tournament and is just as determined for a final four spot. Borges beat Damir Dzumhur 2-0 in the RO32, before repeating that score line against Croatian legend Marin Cilic in the last stage. See key betting stats below!
