Former World No. 3 Stan Wawrinka will face the eighth seed Nuno Borges in the first round of the Open 13 Provence in Marseille on Tuesday, 11 February.

The 39-year-old Swiss is still looking for his first match win in 2025, as he lost in the first round at the Australian Open, Montpellier and Rotterdam. Wawrinka has been winless in ATP Tour matches since 2024 October, when he defeated Adrian Mannarino in Basel.

On the other hand, World No. 39 Nuno Borges has a 7-4 win-loss record in 2025. The Portuguese star reached the semifinal in Auckland and the third round at the Australian Open, where he managed to win a set against Carlos Alcaraz.

His last match was in the Davis Cup against Monaco, as he suffered a disappointing loss against World No. 201 Valentin Vacherot in three sets, so he would be hoping to be back on the winning track in Marseille.

Stan Wawrinka vs Nuno Borges prediction

The 3-time Grand Slam champion Stan Wawrinka is making his sixth appearance at the Open 13 Provence in Marseille. He has a 5-5 win-loss record here, as he reached the quarterfinal in Marseille three times but never reached the semifinal.

His first appearance at the event was 17 years back when he defeated former French No. 1 Sebastien Grosjean in the first round and then lost to Andy Murray.

The 27-year-old Nuno Borges has won only one ATP title in his career when he defeated Rafael Nadal in the final of the Swedish Open on a clay court, something which Wawrinka achieved only once in his nine meetings with Nadal.

Borges has never reached a final of any ATP tour event on a hard court, so he would be hoping to change it in Marseille.

Pick: Borges to win in three sets.
