Stefanos Tsitsipas of Greece will try to get over the hump as he goes up against Portugal’s No.1 Nuno Borges in the second round of the 2025 Shanghai Masters on Saturday.
Tsitsipas is -150 favorite in this matchup, but Nuno Borges could be an enticing pick on the spread line given the Greek’s woeful form.
Current Form:
Tsitsipas will be playing his first match in the Asian swing of the ATP Tour on Saturday. Tsitsipas decided not to participate in either the China and Japan Open after falling to Joao Fonseca 4-6, 6-3, 7-5 in the Greece-Brazil Davis Cup tie. 2025 ATP season has been a down year for Tsitsipas, who is 12-10 on the hard court and 22-18 overall this year. However, the Greek still has time to turn thing around. The Shanghai Masters offers him to chance to regain his rhythm and improve his position on the ATP Rankings. Will Tsitsipas seize the opportunity?
Borges isn’t an easy opponent by any stretch. The Portuguese is 15-13 on the hard court in 2025 and coming off a gritty win over Botic Van de Zandschulp 7-6, 7-6. At the Japan Open, Borges gave Taylor Fritz a good scare, losing a tough second-round battle 5-7, 6-7. Borges might not be elite but he has the tools to challenge top-tier players.

Our Nuno Borges vs Stefanos Tsitsipas Prediction
Stefanos Tsitsipas is in for a rough contest against Nuno Borges. Yes, he’s 2-0 against the Portuguese, but he earned those two wins on the clay court, the surface he’s supposed to dominate. On the hard court, Tsitsipas is a lot more vulnerable this year.
Now, Borges also doesn’t have a good record either. He is a mediocre 15-13 on the hard court and 9-12 in second-round matches in 2025. However, I really believe Borges will give this version of Tsitsipas trouble in their match. Borges survived a dogfight with Van De Zandschulp in the first round, so expect him to be mentally prepared to go through another grind against Tsitsipas.
Our betting prediction for Nuno Borges vs. Stefanos Tsitsipas: Nuno Borges +2.5 Games.
