Talk about a clash of titans, eh? We've got the unseeded shot slinger Jenson Brooksby going head to head with the 8th seed Mr. Consistency himself - Nuno Borges.
Brooksby has been a flipping roller coaster. Seriously, it's been up and down more times than a kangaroo on a trampoline. Two victories sandwiched between three losses, let's just say Brooksby and consistence are not exactly dynamically hitched.
Now, let's chew the fat about Borges. The lad had been on a slippery slide only to bounce back against Pinnington Jones last week. Yes, I know what you're thinking. But remember this: seed 8, he's got the weight of expectation on his shoulders.
So, here is what we are looking at for this tantalizing face-off: Brooksby, who can't decide whether he loves winning or losing more; against Borges, Mr. 8th Seed, who has a history of popping up when you least expect him to.
In tennis folks, 'love' isn't just a score, it's a battlefield. And in this battle, the odds and my gut lean slightly towards the 8th wonder of the tennis world, Borges, who despite a few sweaty forehead moments, knows how to slide over the rough patches more consistently.
Albert's Prediction: Borges in 3 sets.
