No. 11 Andrey Rublev is positioned to reach the fourth round of the French Open for the fourth time in his career as he faces Nuno Borges on Friday, May 29. Borges enters the third round at Roland Garros for the second consecutive year.
Rublev is the heavy favorite, holding an undefeated 4-0 record against Borges throughout their careers. Borges has only managed to win one set across their four previous meetings.
Despite Rublev's dominance, Borges demonstrated his capability in a past clay-court match at the ATP Masters 1000 Monte-Carlo, where he took a set off the Russian. However, Rublev's overall Grand Slam performance includes ten quarterfinal appearances.
Rublev has dropped sets in both of his matches so far in the 2026 French Open. Borges's history at Roland Garros has not seen him progress beyond the third round, unlike his two Grand Slam fourth-round appearances elsewhere in 2024.
