Following his win over former world No. 1 Novak Djokovic, Jan-Lennard Struff has earned himself a quarter-final berth against Nuno Borges. This will mark the third career meeting between the two. Struff is coming off a big win, and our prediction is for the momentum to take him further.

At the end of this match there will be one first-time semi-finalist in Basel. Struff will hope his win over Djokovic doesn’t affect him mentally going into the quarters.

The German is on some momentum after reaching the final in Brussels last week. He has won seven of his last nine matches and comes here placed 43rd in the live ranking.

Borges arrives for this encounter looking to add to his two wins over Struff, though here he is coming to a surface dominated by the German. While Struff has an 8-2 record on indoor hardcourts, Borges has won just two of four matches this season.

One of his wins against Struff came on grass in Mallorca, and another in Phoenix, and as he lacks any meaningful momentum, this will be a tough encounter for him.

In three sets, Borges saw off Casper Ruud in the last round and will be looking to advance to the semis here for the first time. At the tour level, Borges has a 1-3 record in quarter-finals this season.
