Nuno Borges - Enzo Couacaud

Oeiras 2 challenger, 1. round, clay.

Very interesting match from Challenger tournament in Portugal. In this match two different level players will meet. As we have French guy who do not really like Clay, but he is proving that he can play here quite well and recently won a title in Challenger. His opponent who will play at home is Futures level player who perfroms well there, but the level of tournaments is quite different.

If we look on basic statistics we see that they show quite simillar results but on different levels.

Why french guy?

1) For me Enzo have much more skills and experience and also he played in higher level and for longer time.

2) Not so long ago Enzo won challenger tournament trofey and he didn't skip clay surface from that time and played few more tournaments. He had few bad mathces, but now he can be again in top physic shape. After last week loose he stayed in Portugal and trained so this week will be better.

3) Portugal player played quite long ago and his newest match was in last week, so he won't be in such good tournament playing style.

4) We can see that last matches of both players wasn't quite easy so we can expect same good fight in this match and i cannot see how more experienced player will loose easily on this match.
