Nuno Borges, Portugal's number one, was eliminated in the first round of the US Open. The Portuguese tennis player could not advance in the competition, facing a defeat right in his first match in the tournament.
Borges was defeated by American Learner Tien. The confrontation resulted in a clear victory for the home player, with Borges losing 3-0 in sets.
This premature elimination represents a disappointing start for the Portuguese at the North American Grand Slam, interrupting his run before he could show his best tennis at the tournament.
