Second seed Taylor Fritz continues with his quest for another Japan Open title and next faces the unseeded Nuno Borges. This is their second career meeting, and the winner will play Sebastian Korda or Sho Shimabukuro for a place in the quarter-finals. Read on to find our prediction for this match.
Nuno Borges is making his Tokyo debut and will be hoping to maintain his winning start. The Portuguese number one saw off the challenge of the wildcard Yosuke Watanuki in the first round.
He won in three sets after letting the first set slip. Borges has struggled with his form this year, and before arriving in Tokyo, was on a three-match losing streak. Advancing to this round has seen the 28-year-old improve to 28-28 and move up to 50th in the live ranking.
Taylor Fritz also needed three sets to get past his first-round opponent. Arriving in Tokyo following a stellar performance at the Laver Cup, Fritz fought from a set down to get the better of Gabriel Diallo.
Currently on a three-match winning run, the American has improved to 46-17 with 27 of his wins coming on hard courts. This form should have him confident of ending up as champion for the second time in this event.
The world number five, who is competing in Tokyo for a seventh time, was crowned champion in 2022. Fritz defeated Borges in their only encounter last season.

Our Nuno Borges vs Taylor Fritz Prediction
Our prediction for Nuno Borges v Taylor Fritz is for Fritz to win in three sets. Fritz is a former Tokyo champion and is one of the main favourites to win this year’s championship. He has been in great form throughout the season and is currently on a three-match winning streak.
Having defeated Borges in their only other meeting, we have the American as our best bet here. However, victory is likely not to come as easily as he faces a player who is a hard-court specialist. Despite being out of form, Borges is no pushover when it comes to competing on hard courts. Taking a set in this tie is therefore not beyond the Portuguese.
