\n Winner to face Khachanov or Shang in Round-3. <\/p>\n
Two-time Grand Slam finalist Stefanos Tsitsipas will face Portuguese No. 1 Nuno Borges in the 2025 Rolex Shanghai Masters Round of 64. Across his last five events, Tsitsipas\u2019 best finish has been the Round of 32. Can he return to form? Or will the powerful 28-year-old double down on his win against Van de Zandschulp with another upset? The winner of this match will take on either Karen Khachanov or Juncheng Shang in the third round. After previewing this clash for you today, we will give you the best betting odds (via BetMGM<\/a>).<\/p>\n Having once been a constant in the Top-10, Stefanos Tsitsipas has slipped to No. 25 in the world. The Greek superstar has struggled to hit a consistent patch of form, and has seemingly failed to evolve with the fast-paced nature of the tour. Tsitsipas captured the Dubai Tennis Championships trophy in March, after which he suffered from a major dip. After making two quarterfinals during the clay court campaign, the 27-year-old has failed to make any deep runs during tour-level events. In comparison to the last two seasons where he served 421 and 547 aces, Tsitsipas has struck merely 257 unreturned serves in 2025.<\/p>\n Currently ranked just outside the Top-50, Nuno Borges is a compact baseliner. Although his success rate throughout the ongoing season as well as his overall career is under 50%, the Portuguese sensation can take out some of the top players in the world on his day. He reached the ASB Classic semifinals to start the year, and also attained quarterfinal finishes at the Grand Prix Hassan II and the Libema Open. Borges\u2019 overall record this season stands at 26-27, which includes his 7-6(5) 7-6(5) win over Van de Zandschulp in the Shanghai Masters Round of 128.<\/p>\n Tsitsipas has an advantageous 2-0 record in the head-to-head against Borges. They have faced one another twice on outdoor clay \u2013 a surface that Tsitsipas enjoys.<\/p>\n \nStefanos Tsitsipas vs Nuno Borges Match Preview<\/h2>\n
