In search of confidence after a start to the season that fell short of his ambitions, American Frances Tiafoe begins his Houston tournament in the second round against Australian Adam Walton.
Ranked 17th in the world, Frances Tiafoe has been unable to find the ingredients for a string of victories this season. In the 6 tournaments played in 2025, the number 2 seed has failed to win two matches in a row, most recently losing in the 3rd round at the BNP Paribas Open and Miami. With a place in the top 20 likely to elude him in the near future, Frances Tiafoe will need to put in a good performance over the coming weeks, starting on Thursday in his last-16 match in Houston. To do so, he will have to dominate his first opponent, Adam Walton.
The Australian is currently enjoying a fine North American tour, having reached the second round in Indian Wells after qualifying, and then the 3rd round in Miami, again after qualifying. Confident after a string of good results, the 85th-ranked player in the world confirmed this in the first round in Houston, masterfully disposing of American Michael Mmoh. A good start in line with what Adam Walton has been showing over the last few weeks, he will now be able to test himself against the number 2 seed in Texas and contender for victory, Frances Tiafoe.

Our Adam Walton vs Frances Tiafoe Prediction
Number 2 seed Frances Tiafoe will have no margin for error in his first match in Houston against Adam Walton. The American hasn't shown much in 2025, while the Australian is perhaps offering his best tennis this season. That being said, Walton is coming into this match following a 2-0 over American Michael Mmoh in the qualifiers where as Tiafoe is fresh and ready. It's a more open match than the rankings suggest.
