On Wednesday, there's more grass-court tennis coming our way from s-Hertogenbosch in the Netherlands, where Nuno Borges and Marin Cilic will lock horns for the third time as professionals. This is a meeting between the world number 50 and the world number 47, so we shouldn't exactly be stunned if the pair turn out to share a close-fought battle. Cilic is particularly good at extending his grass-court matches, often fighting back from losing positions, which further suggests that this could be a fairly long contest.
As the early lines suggest, there's probably not too much between these players at present, especially on grass, where both have shown an ability to compete. If we consider this in conjunction with the fact that neither has made a huge habit of winning in straight sets, 'Over 2.5 Sets' starts to make plenty of appeal.

Our Nuno Borges vs Marin Cilic Prediction
Looking at the most recent grass-court form of both players, it's fair to say that neither one has made light work of winning in straight sets on this surface. Sure, Nuno Borges came through the first round without dropping a set, but he'll likely struggle to repeat that trick here, especially with Cilic not losing any of his last 11 grass-court matches in straight sets.
Six of Cilic's last eight grass-court matches have gone beyond the minimum number of sets, and that's not easy to ignore.
Our Nuno Borges vs Marin Cilic Pick: Over 2.5 Sets.
