Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?
In their upcoming match, Taylor Fritz and Adam Walton will face each other for the first time. Taylor Fritz, a 27-year-old from the United States, is currently ranked at World No. 4, which is his career-high ranking. In 2025, he has achieved a record of 12-5, reaching the quarterfinals of the Delray Beach tournament. In Miami, he has a record of 11-8 and reached the quarterfinals in 2023.
Fritz’s impressive career highlights include becoming the first American man since Blake in 2006 to play in the Nitto ATP Finals championship match and finish within the top 5 of the year-end rankings. At the 2024 US Open, he became the first American man in years to reach a Grand Slam final, defeating notable players like Ruud, Zverev, and Tiafoe along the way. In the 2022 Nitto ATP Finals, he defeated Nadal to advance to the semifinals, after already winning the 2022 ATP Masters 1000 Indian Wells, becoming the first American men’s champion at that event since Agassi in 2001. Additionally, when he was just 18 years old, Fritz reached his first ATP Tour final at the 2016 Memphis tournament.
Fritz has also made significant contributions to Team USA, helping them win the inaugural United Cup in 2023. He has also been a part of the winning Team World in the Laver Cup for both 2022 and 2023. Furthermore, Fritz earned a bronze medal in men’s doubles with Paul at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
In his upcoming match, Fritz aims to match his best result in Miami, reaching the quarterfinals like he did in 2023. He also aims to advance to his 13th ATP Masters 1000 quarterfinal, which would be his first since the Shanghai tournament in October. Notably, Fritz has an impressive record of 20-0 against players ranked outside the Top 80 since the start of the 2024 season.
On the other hand, Adam Walton, a 25-year-old from Australia, will be facing Fritz. Currently ranked at World No. 89, Walton reached his career-high ranking of No. 86 in August after starting the 2024 season ranked at No. 176. Walton had a successful run in Challengers, going 30-14 and winning titles at Burnie-2 and Taipei.
Walton made his ATP Tour debut as a qualifier at the 2024 Adelaide tournament. He achieved his first victory in the main draw at the 2024 Mallorca tournament, defeating former semi-finalist Hanfmann. He then secured his first victory in a Grand Slam main draw match at the 2024 Wimbledon, defeating Coria. In Challenger events, Walton has a record of 73-46, including three final appearances and one title at the 2023 Cary tournament.
Interestingly, Walton played college tennis for the University of Tennessee for five years from 2017. He credits college tennis for improving his overall tennis skills and physicality.
Entering the Miami tournament as a lucky loser, Walton earned back-to-back wins on the ATP Tour for the first time in his career. He replaced the injured No. 21 seed Hurkacz in the draw. Walton has an unremarkable record against top 50 players, currently standing at 0-5. It is worth noting that Walton has the opportunity to become the second lucky loser to reach the Miami quarterfinals, the first being Ljubicic in 2001. Additionally, if he manages to reach the quarterfinals, Walton will be the first lucky loser to reach an ATP Masters 1000 quarterfinal since Popyrin at the 2023 Cincinnati tournament.
To wrap up the information, in the Miami 4th round, Adam Walton will be facing Taylor Fritz. There have been previous instances in Miami where lucky losers have achieved notable results, such as Flur in 1985, Ljubicic in 2001, Becker in 2014, and Zeballos in 2016.
