Latest match preview for Nuno Borges vs Daniil Medvedev

The world number 34's most recent match in Queens was a tense five-set match, eliminating Jakub Mensik with a score of 6-7(5), 6-1, 3-6, 7-6(6), 6-0.
Having twice demonstrated his fighting spirit to overcome a losing set and win the tie-break in the fourth set, the Portuguese player will need these qualities when facing the 2021 champion.
Borges equaled his best Grand Slam record with his current performance, reaching the fourth round at the Australian Open in January before losing to his opponent this Monday. However, he needs one more win to surpass his limit and achieve his first victory against a top 10 opponent.
Medvedev will not be an easy opponent as he is looking for another quarterfinal opportunity at Flushing Meadows, aiming to eliminate the Portuguese player.
With Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz eliminated, Medvedev is the only male player to have tasted success at the year-end Major, and having reached the finals in 2019 and 2023, he is aiming for a second title.
Although many predicted Jannik Sinner would win his second Grand Slam and Alexander Zverev – who is in the other half of the draw – would have a chance, the Russian player may well defy those predictions.
A fascinating quarterfinal clash with Sinner could happen in the next round, although this depends on both players winning their fourth-round matches, which is not guaranteed at this unpredictable US Open.
Only in 2022 – when the defending champion was defeated by Nick Kyrgios – did Medvedev fail to advance past the fourth round at Flushing Meadows.
With three finals appearances and one semi-final in the last five years, he is confident in his ability to improve that record to five in the next six tournaments.
Nuno Borges vs Daniil Medvedev Score Prediction
Although Medvedev defeated Borges in both of their previous encounters, only one of their six sets was by a large margin, suggesting another close contest is expected on Monday. However, Medvedev is still expected to avoid an upset and advance to another quarterfinal at Flushing Meadows.
Our prediction: Medvedev wins in four sets.
