LiontipsHolger Rune - Nuno Borges: prediction and bets on the Monte Carlo ATP match
Command Analysis
Current form
Rune has only had one match on the dirt this season. He played it as part of a competition in Buenos Aires, where he lost to Mariano Navona in the opening match. Holger had 11 wins and six losses on clay last season.
Professional qualities
It is difficult to find weak points in Rune. Perhaps he needs to improve his psychology a little, because emotions often take over and he loses matches because of this. Otherwise, Holger is in perfect order - he has a good strong serve and excellent forehand and backhand shots in his arsenal.
Current indicators in the tour
Rune is the 12th racket of the world at the moment. Holger has won four ATP titles in his career. The 21-year-old Dane won his last trophy in 2023, winning on clay in Munich.
Interesting facts for betting
Rune is a quarter-finalist in the Monte Carlo competition last year.
Current form
Borges tested the soil for the first time this season last week. Nuno took part in competitions in Marrakech, in which he beat Rafael Collignon, but then lost to Roberto Carballes-Baena in the quarterfinals. Last season, the Portuguese scored 14 wins and seven losses on clay courts.
Professional qualities
Borges' serve is at a decent level, as is his forehand. It is these components of the game that allow him to succeed on fast courts. However, Nuno can also do something on slow surfaces - last season, we recall, the Portuguese won the clay competition in Bostad, in the final of which he beat Rafael Nadal.
