Alex de Minaur is seeded seventh but there’s only one higher seed (Novak Djokovic) than him in the Shanghai Masters. Round four of this outdoor hard court tournament sees the Australian face unseeded Nuno Borges. Time for our match prediction.
The winner of this match will have a quarter-final against either 16th seed Daniil Medvedev or unseeded Learner Tien.
De Minaur has won both his matches in this tournament without losing a set. Wins have come against Camilo Ugo Carabelli and Kamal Majchrzak. A victory over Borges will be his 50th of the year and 35th on this surface. The 26-year-old has won eight of his last nine matches (seven in straight sets) with only Jannik Sinner beating him. He’s 7th in both the live rankings and ATP Race.
Nuno Borges has had to win three matches to reach this stage. Botic van de Zandschulp and Aleksandar Vukic were beaten in straight sets but he had to go to three to defeat Juncheng Shang.
The 28-year-old has made it to one hard court semi-final in 2025. That was in Auckland in January. Borges is 44th in the live rankings and 41st in the ATP Race. We tip de Minaur to win in straight sets.
