7/6 at the last?

Borges is a specialist in long matches, especially in the early rounds. Is this an opportunity for Arthur?

I really wanted to trust Borges against Bagnis last week, forgetting that he was very rarely imperial in his matches. He shines with his mental resilience and in his game, but often struggles to make big differences. A reminder that shouldn't make me forget that each match is different; he can easily win against Rinderknech too, so be careful. Except that in this match, I have two arguments that go in our Frenchman's favor: the conditions and the matchup. He's a tough, fairly fast player, the bounce is low, which is good for good servers and aggressive players like Rinderknech. Then the matchup is pretty good for the Frenchman because he takes time from his opponents and likes to come to the net, Borges doesn't like that. He's better against more classic profiles, I think, he doesn't excel on the return and needs time. Which makes me say that in a first round, another dangerous match is coming up for him. Rinderknech took a set from him this season at Indian Wells in much slower and less advantageous conditions, I add that Arthur was not at all in the same confidence as he is now which makes me believe in him even more.
