The Portuguese No. 1 player, Nuno Borges, is giving his best shots in Sweden! It seems that a first-round elimination at Wimbledon did not put his morale down, instead ignited a fire in him to perform better. The proof is in front of our eyes as the 27-year-old player is gearing up for a final-round clash against one of the most formidable opponents, Rafael Nadal. But with the consistent support of his loved ones, Borges can make all the tables turn! Especially when he has a mysterious woman backing him up!

Borges, the former World No. 46, is currently ready to fight one of his career’s greatest matches against the King of Clay! Some may doubt his ability to keep up his form against the 22-time Grand Slam champion. But let’s not forget that he is the same player who started the season by reaching the fourth round at the Australian Open and later also won the Challenger Phoenix title! However, throughout all of it, he not only amazed his fans but also elicited a curiosity among them – who is the woman in the stands of his matches? 

The speculations started to circulate during the Australian Open match! While the 27-year-old player focused on defeating Daniil Medvedev, all the attention went towards a woman, sitting in the stands along with Borges’ coach, Hugo Anao. Wearing a blue top with shades and a white cap, she certainly sparked speculation in the tennis world! Extending it even more, an image of the woman from the event surfaced on X, claiming she was once a Greek tennis player and now works for the ITF.

Now, if we try to connect the dots and look at Borges’ ITF circuit era, it’ll be easy to find him in the top 44 rankings there, which he achieved more than 9 years ago. Therefore, the question that immediately follows is: Did their connection begin there? Sadly, we might never know, as Borges likes to keep his personal life away from the spotlight. However, he can hardly hide his alleged beau from us, as in a separate image on X, Borges’ girlfriend was seen talking to her countryman Stefanos Tsitsipas after he lost his match to Taylor Fritz. in the Australian Open.

Nonetheless, Borges has always remained silent on the matter. Instead, Borges, who turned pro in 2019, intends to put all his attention into taking his career forward. And if, while doing so, he receives the support of fans and the crowd in his matches; it makes it even more special for him.

An “emotional” Borges addresses the crowd after his Swedish Open’s SF win

In his semi-final clash against Thiago Agustin Tirante, Borges showcased a stellar performance, winning in straight sets against his opponent. What made it even more memorable for him was that he had to wait four months to earn a position in the semifinals! Since the Italian Open Round of 16 elimination, he has struggled to get past even the second round of an event. But now, he is in the finale! Obviously, emotions ran wild in him.

However, he did not forget to acknowledge the constant support of the crowd after his victory. “Very emotional. I knew he was tired so I needed to stick to my plan. Great crowd, a great atmosphere. They helped me battle through my demons.” As he gets onto his next target in the Bastad Open, keep an eye out for his loved ones in the stands once again. Maybe you would find a familiar face, cheering him on this time as well!
