Nuno Borges makes his Hertogenbosch Open debut in the first round against American Nishesh Basavareddy. The two will be clashing for the first time in their careers, vying for a second-round ticket to face Otto Virtanen or Tomas Martin Etcheverry. Read on for our prediction of this match.

Both players are coming from early exits at the French Open. At Roland Garros, Borges won his first-ever match against a top-10 player, eliminating Casper Ruud in the second round.

However, his journey ended at the next stage, a 3-0 loss to Alexei Popyrin. Now he has the chance to start another long run and hopes for better fortunes on grass.

Basavareddy will arrive for this match seeking a first win in four matches. His run at the Rome Masters ended in the qualifying stage, and the same was the case at the French Open.

In between, the 20-year-old also had an early exit at the Bordeaux Challenger, which means he comes here as the outright underdog.

The world No. 100 is at his best ranking and has won three of his last 10 matches, all in straight sets. He only failed to win at least a set in four of the last 10 matches. Basavareddy lost five of six first-round matches on the tour.
