Nuno Borges, a 28-year-old Portuguese player, currently ranked at World No. 38, has had a successful career so far. In 2024, he became the second Portuguese man to break into the Top 50 in the PIF ATP Rankings history. He achieved a career-high ranking of No. 30 in September 2024 after saving three match points against Mensik to reach the US Open fourth round.

Borges captured his first ATP Tour title at the 2024 Bastad, joining the likes of Djokovic, Federer, Murray, and Zeballos as the only men to defeat Nadal in an ATP Tour final on clay. He also had an impressive performance at the 2024 Australian Open, defeating No. 13 Dimitrov to reach his first Grand Slam fourth round, making him the first Portuguese player to achieve this feat in the tournament’s history.

Throughout his career, Borges has reached 10 Challenger finals, winning titles at various tournaments, including Antalya-3 in 2021, Barletta in 2022, Monterrey in 2023, Phoenix in 2023 and 2024, and Maia in 2023, his hometown. During his four-year college career at Mississippi State University, he was a five-time All-American and had a remarkable 31-match win streak, which ended in his last match against Jubb in the 2019 NCAA singles final.

Borges is currently looking for his fifth ATP Tour quarterfinal, with a 2-2 record. If he reaches the quarterfinals in Dubai, he will be the first Portuguese male player to do so. He has a 6-17 record against Top 25 players, including a recent victory over No. 19 Fils in the first round of the tournament.

On the other hand, Felix Auger-Aliassime, a 24-year-old Canadian player, holds the 21st position in the world rankings, with a career-high ranking of No. 6. In his breakout 2022 season, Auger-Aliassime achieved a career-best of 60 wins, reaching a career-long 16-match win streak. He won three titles in as many weeks at Florence, Antwerp, and Basel.

In 2022, he also won the Rotterdam title, breaking his streak of 0-8 in singles finals. He reached the quarterfinals of the Australian Open for the third consecutive time and had successful team performances, winning titles at the ATP Cup, Laver Cup, and Davis Cup. Auger-Aliassime excelled in hard-court and indoor matches, leading the ATP Tour with 45 hard-court wins and 31 indoor wins in 2022. He defeated top-ranked players such as Alcaraz, Djokovic, Murray, and Nadal.

Auger-Aliassime has also made history for Canadian tennis. In the 2021 US Open, he became the first Canadian men’s singles semifinalist in the tournament’s history. In 2024, he became the first Canadian to reach the ATP Masters 1000 final on clay in series history at Madrid. He achieved many records at a young age, becoming the youngest Top-25 player since Hewitt in 1999, the youngest ATP 500 finalist at Rio de Janeiro in series history since 2009, and the youngest semifinalist in Miami tournament history since 1985.

In 2025, Auger-Aliassime has had a successful start, winning two titles at Adelaide and Montpellier. He leads the ATP Tour in title wins this year and aims to become the first player to earn 14 tour-level wins. In Dubai, he is aiming to become the second Canadian quarterfinalist after Shapovalov’s back-to-back semifinal appearances in 2021 and 2022.
