Frances Tiafoe and Adam Walton clash in the round of 16 of the 2025 ATP Houston Open on Thursday, April 3, 2025. Here's our Frances Tiafoe vs Adam Walton prediction. This preview will also include a Frances Tiafoe vs Adam Walton pick.

 

Frances Tiafoe Preview

Frances Tiafoe is the second seed at the ATP Houston Open. This will be his seventh main draw appearance. Tiafoe was the 2023 champion and finished runner-up last year after losing to Ben Shelton in three sets in the final. He has made at least the quarterfinals since 2022. His last defeat in Houston in the last 16 was in 2018. Tiafoe is having a poor start to 2025, failing to win back-to-back matches in any Tour-level tournament. He has compiled a 6-6 record for the season and is coming off a three-set loss to Arthur Fils in Miami. This will be his first match on clay since the 2024 French Open when he lost to Denis Shapovalov. Overall he won five of 11 matches on clay last season, and at least eight in each of the two seasons before that.

 

Adam Walton Preview

Adam Walton won his opening match in Houston against American wild card Michael Mmoh. The match took 22 games to decide. Walton prevailed 6-3, 7-6 in an hour and 46 minutes. In the victory, Walton hit 18 winners and 27 unforced errors. That included eight aces and five double faults. Walton landed 63% of first serves in play and won 78% of first serve points (35/45). He won 23% of second serve points (6/26) and saved four of eight break points. Walton compiled 52% of return points (32/61) and converted all five breakpoints on the return. This was his 19th win from 29 matches this season. Walton is currently sitting at a career-high No. 85 in the ATP rankings.

Frances Tiafoe vs Adam Walton Prediction

The results show that Walton has outperformed Tiafoe this season, with the Aussie sitting above Tiafoe in the ATP live race. But Tiafoe is still the player with the higher upswing and a player of his talent won't stay down for long. This is a big week for him as he tries to revive his season. That said, I'm backing him to kick off his Houston campaign with a bang.
