Having dropped outside the top-10 ATP rankings (to #12), Djokovic also senses the need to climb up the ladder to boost his chances of not facing Jannik Sinner or Carlos Alcaraz before the semi-finals in Grand Slam events.
Borges will be chasing the first win of his career over Djokovic. Their only meeting in the quarter-finals of the Athens Open last year ended in a straight-set victory for Djokovic.
