One of the more interesting matches at the ATP event in Shanghai due to take place early on Saturday morning, at least from a betting angle, is the one between Jiri Lehecka and Nuno Borges. On paper, this looks like an excellent chance for the higher-ranked competitor to make a strong start to the event.
Jiri Lehecka is a worthy favorite ahead of this match against Nuno Borges, there can be no denying that. However, is he short enough? For our money here at SportyTrader, the answer is no, he is not. The Czech player can be strongly fancied to defeat his lower-ranked opponent in straight sets, much as he did when the pair last faced off, so much so that odds of -105 look too big to ignore.

Our Jiri Lehecka vs Nuno Borges Prediction
Jiri Lehecka will want to get off to a pleasing start in Shanghai, and this match against Nuno Borges provides him with a great opportunity to do that. The Portuguese player has struggled against higher-ranked players of late, failing to win a set in each of his last two matches against those ranked above him.
Lehecka comes here off the back of showing some hot form in Tokyo, where he beat two lower-ranked players in straight sets before losing to Carlos Alcaraz, and there's no shame in that. He also defeated Borges in straight sets when the pair last met.
Our Jiri Lehecka vs Nuno Borges Pick: Jiri Lehecka to Win 2-0.
