Nuno Borges may be seeded seventh but he's the only remaining seed in the ASB Classic in Auckland. He takes on qualifier Zizou Bergs for a place in the final of this ATP outdoor hard court tournament. Read our match prediction below.
Nuno Borges is one match away from only his second ATP Tour final. The other was last year when he won a clay court tournament. The Portuguese player is up to 33rd in the live rankings, three places below his career-high.
This week has seen him defeat Luciano Darderi and Mariano Navone but on both occasions he dropped the first set. He did the same in his quarter-final against Jakub Mensik. Last week saw Alexandre Muller win the Hong Kong title without winning a first set all week.
Zizou Bergs is up to 62nd in the live list and will beat his career-high of 61st if winning this semi-final. He won two qualifiers to get into the main draw and lost the first set in both matches. Since then, he's had main draw wins over Isaac Becroft, qualifier Luca Nardi and Roberto Carballes Baena (again losing the first set).
We go for over 21.5 games to be played in this match.
