Nuno Borges, ranked 56th in the world, was defeated by a tennis player ranked slightly lower in the ATP hierarchy, in which he is ranked 73rd, by the partials of 7-5 and 6-4, after an hour and 58 minutes of confrontation.

The Portuguese number one and only Portuguese tennis player among the top 100 in the world suffered a break of serve in the opening game, but managed to draw 4-4, before suffering a new -- and decisive -- break, which allowed Munar to establish 6-5 and, later, close the initial set.

The scenario was repeated in the second set, with Munar quickly imposing himself on Borges' serve (2-1), and, despite the Portuguese having reacted immediately (2-2), he gave up again later (4-3) and allowed the opponent to win the match on the third 'match point' he had.

Nuno Borges, 27, met the same fate as last year in the Spanish event, in which he was eliminated in the first round by American Marcos Giron, and continues with only one round passed in Masters 1,000, in Rome, in 2023.
