Nuno Borges Stuns Rafael Nadal to Win Swedish Open

Posted : 22 July 2024

World number 51 Nuno Borges defeated Rafael Nadal 6-3, 6-2 to claim victory at the Swedish Open in Bastad. This win marks Borges' first ATP title, while Nadal, a 22-time Grand Slam champion, faced a significant defeat in his first final since 2022.

 

Nadal, hampered by injuries in recent years, has seen his ranking drop to 261. The 38-year-old opted out of Wimbledon this summer to focus on preparing for the Olympics. Despite his extensive experience with 131 finals, Nadal struggled against the 27-year-old Portuguese player.

 

Borges expressed his mixed emotions after the match, acknowledging the crowd's desire for a Nadal victory but highlighting his own determination. "I know we all wanted Rafa to win - a part of me wished that too - but something even bigger inside of me really pushed through today," said Borges. As Nadal looks ahead, he has stated that competing at Roland Garros, where he has won 14 French Open titles, remains his primary goal for the year.
