Former Champ Borges Beats Dimitrov In Second Round At Bastad
PIF ATP Live Rankings: Nuno Borges advanced to the quarterfinals of the Nordea Open in Bastad, cruising past Grigor Dimitrov 6-4, 6-2 for a statement win in the second round of the event on Wednesday. With this win, Borges reached his fourth tour-level quarterfinal of the season.
Borges has fond memories of the event in Bastad, having won his only ATP Tour title at the 2024 edition in Sweden, when he defeated Rafael Nadal in the final. The fifth seed was at his intense best against Dimitrov, who advanced to the fourth round at Wimbledon earlier this month.
Dimitrov was competing at the ATP 250 clay-court event for the first time since reaching the semifinals in 2013. The 35-year-old Bulgarian earned his first clay-court win of the year in his opening match against Dalibor Svrcina – highlighted by a moment of amazing sportsmanship by Dimitrov – but was unable to back it up against Borges, according to a report on the official website of the ATP Tour.
