Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?
Carlos Alcaraz of Spain, aged 22 and currently ranked World No. 2, is set to face off against Australia’s Adam Walton, a lucky loser, in their first-ever meeting. Alcaraz has had an impressive career trajectory, reaching the pinnacle of the ATP rankings as the youngest teenage World No. 1 and year-end No. 1 in PIF ATP Rankings history. He rose from No. 32 in 2021 to No. 1 at just 19 years old in September 2022, holding the top spot for a total of 36 weeks.
In 2022, Alcaraz made history by defeating Ruud in the US Open final to claim the No. 1 ranking, becoming the youngest men’s champion at the tournament since Sampras in 1990. He continued his success by winning Grand Slam titles on all three surfaces, winning the 2024 Roland Garros title at 21 years old and successfully defending it in 2025. Alcaraz also secured victories against Djokovic at Wimbledon and became the youngest Olympic men’s finalist in over a century, earning a silver medal at the Paris Olympics.
Walton, on the other hand, aged 26 and ranked World No. 86, has seen improvements in his career, breaking into the Top 100 in 2024 and achieving a career-high ranking of 85 in March 2025. He has made strides in the Challenger circuit, with titles under his belt and notable wins in ATP Tour events. Walton, a former college tennis player, attributes his success to the experience gained during his time at the University of Tennessee.
As Alcaraz enters the match on a 13-match winning streak, Walton will be looking for a breakthrough victory to become the first Australian to defeat the Spanish star at the tour level. Despite his underdog status, Walton’s determination and previous successes hint at a potential upset in the making.
