Nuno Borges vs Zizou Bergs: Match Preview
Portuguese No. 1 Nuno Borges takes on Belgium’s Zizou Bergs in a highly anticipated rematch at the 2025 Open 13 Provence Round of 16.
These two players recently clashed just a few weeks ago at the ASB Classic in Auckland, where Bergs edged Borges in a three-set thriller (6-2, 3-6, 7-5) before finishing as the tournament’s runner-up. Borges will be eager to avenge that loss as they meet again in Marseille.
Road to the Round of 16
Nuno Borges
- Defeated Stan Wawrinka (1st Round): 6-4, 3-6, 7-6
- Borges had to battle past an inspired veteran in Stan Wawrinka, winning a close three-set encounter.
- This victory over an experienced opponent should give him confidence heading into this match.
Zizou Bergs
- Defeated Clement Zhidekh (1st Round): 6-4, 6-4
- Bergs had a straightforward win in the first round.
- However, after an early Australian Open exit and limited match play in recent weeks, he could still be a little rusty.
Head-to-Head: Borges vs Bergs
- Previous Meetings: 1 (Bergs leads 1-0)
- Last Meeting: Bergs won 6-2, 3-6, 7-5 (2025 ASB Classic, Auckland – Semi-finals)
While Bergs won their last encounter, Borges showed resilience and forced a deciding set. Given his recent match sharpness and win over Wawrinka, Borges could pose an even greater challenge this time around.
