First time here, I never thought I would have been here playing on a full stadium against Rafa on clay. It is a dream come true. Right now, I’m living in the clouds. There’s not many today, but I’m somewhere not here.”
He further added:
I’m kind of speechless. I’m holding this trophy. Who would have thought? Tennis is crazy. So why not keep going and just keep dreaming?”
Borges started out the contest, with a 6-3 win in the first set after Nadal dropped his first two service games with mistimed forehands and two double faults. Nuno broke through after ending an extensive rally with a perfectly cut backhand drop shot. Once Borges gained momentum, he had no trouble maintaining it and eventually kept the pressure coming.
