🔍 Match Breakdown

• Style clash: Borges thrives in grinding rallies but lacks finishing weapons; Majchrzak prefers flat, early-strike baseline play on hard courts.
• Momentum vs experience: Borges brings steady ATP-level mileage, while Majchrzak rides red-hot Challenger and ATP form.
• Tactics: Borges’ topspin forehand can push Majchrzak back, but the Pole has served efficiently this summer and rarely gives free points.
• Match flow: Longer rallies = Borges’ chance; shorter, first-strike exchanges = Majchrzak edge.

🔮 Prediction

A tricky battle: Borges’ ATP consistency vs Majchrzak’s hard-court surge. Borges has beaten him before, but momentum leans Polish.

Pick: Majchrzak in 3 sets — expect a tight, physical clash.
