There's no shortage of hard-court action taking place this week in Canada, where for ATP players, it's all about Toronto. On Thursday, there's an interesting match between Nuno Borges and Casper Ruud. The Portuguese player reached this round thanks to a fairly disappointing effort against a player ranked 689th in the world during the first round. Sure, after losing the first set, he recovered and got the job done, but there was nothing about that performance that pointed towards him causing serious trouble for a player like Ruud, who is currently ranked as 13th best male player on the planet. Ruud has reached the quarter finals of this tournament before and having easily beaten Roman Safiullin in straight sets last time out, he looks to have a nice opportunity to build confidence ahead of another good run in Toronto.Limited Offer.

Our Nuno Borges vs Casper Ruud Prediction
While Nuno Borges struggled to get beyond a low-ranking opponent, Casper Ruud exploded into life at this tournament by beating a top-100 player in straight sets, showing that he means business this week, and I really don't think that the contrasting first-round performances of these two has been factored into the early betting enough. In other words, Ruud ought to be a stronger favorite than he currently is. When the pair last met on this surface, the Norwegian won in straight sets. I'm betting on a repeat of that trick here.
