For the third time in their careers, Alex Michelsen and Nuno Borges are set to clash. The two players face off in the first round at the Geneva Open, with Borges marking his debut. Read on for our prediction of this match.
Michelsen, the seventh seed, will have an upper hand here, having earlier tasted action at this competition. He has a 2-1 record at Geneva and will be looking to improve.
The American is coming from a second-round loss at the Rome Masters. Having advanced past the first round in 10 of 13 matches this season, before that he had won the Estoril Challenger.
Nuno Borges is also carrying into this match a strong run in the first round this season. He only lost two out of 12. In three sets, he claimed a win in the first-ever meeting with Michelsen at Auckland last season.
He would, however, fall in straight sets to the American in their second meeting, in Mallorca on grass. This, therefore, will be the first meeting between them on clay.
As he makes his Geneva debut, Borges will hope to stage a deep run. His highlight for the season is getting to the semi-finals at Auckland, where he lost to Zizou Bergs.

Our Nuno Borges vs Alex Michelsen Prediction
Nuno Borges is the less experienced here, especially as he plays his first match at the Geneva Open. In 10 of his last 12 first-round matches, the Portuguese advanced. He would want to carry the same here but has three losses in the last four matches, which might affect his confidence.
Meanwhile, Michelsen is likely to approach this match on a more confident footing, having won four of his last five outings. Our prediction for Nuno Borges v Alex Michelsen is for Michelsen to win in three sets.
