Learner Tien vs. Nuno Borges Preview, Prediction, and Betting Odds for ATP Paris Masters 2025 Round – 1
Learner Tien will face Nuno Borges in the opening round of the Paris Masters 2025. Tien has enjoyed a stellar season, reaching a career-high world No. 36 in September and currently sitting at No. 38. Earlier this month, he made his maiden ATP main-draw final in Beijing but fell to Jannik Sinner in straight sets.

Other highlights include quarterfinal runs in Acapulco and Mallorca.
