Nuno Borges is already in the quarterfinals of the Barcelona Open 2026 after defeating Tomás Etcheverry with a score of 6-3, 7-6(4). The Portuguese player, who seemed to have some physical issues towards the end of the match, managed to resolve the clash in a way rarely seen. On his second match point, he came up with an underarm serve that the Argentine couldn't reach, securing his fifth ace of the match to seal the victory. It was such an unexpected moment that even the cameras almost missed it, but it was very effective for the Portuguese.
