Nuno Borges vs Mackenzie McDonald Prediction: Both Players to Feel the Heat in the Opening Round

A career-high ATP singles rating of 122 was attained by Borges on June 20, 2022, and a doubles ranking of 83 on May 16, 2022. Borges has risen from tough spots all his career. He will be up against Mackenzie McDonald, who hails from the US.

Going in the game, Nuno Borges will be up against a talented rookie, hailing from the soil of United States of America. However, he lost to Max Purcell (1-3) almost a week back. Before that he enjoyed two back to back wins against Hiroki Moriya (2-1) and Matteo Arnaldi (2-1). Nun Borges has a variable track record, which isnt too bad for a rookie player like him.

Till now, Mackenzie McDonald has had a respectable season. He entered the top 50 at the beginning of the year after playing in the second round of the Australian Open. He advanced to the quarterfinals of the Dubai Tennis Championships the following month and then advanced to the third round of the Miami Open. McDonald finished his clay-court season by making his first-ever appearance in the third round of the French Open. However, at the Libema Open, he lost in the opening round to begin his grass season. Next, the American was defeated in Mallorca and Halle’s second round.

Now with a changed opponent, Mackenzie McDonald might have a chance of securing a win. However, Nun Borges will also look to make most of the opportunity coming his way.
