Taylor Fritz vs Adam Walton Prediction & Picks - ATP Miami

Prediction published on 3/25/25, 4:14 AM  by Tyler Doty | Modified on 3/25/25 at 4:20 AM in ATP Miami Picks

One of the favorites at this year's Miami Open, American Taylor Fritz will play his Round of 16 match tonight against the surprise guest of the Florida tournament, Australian Adam Walton.

Taylor Fritz's start to the season has not lived up to the American's expectations. Ranked 4th in the world, the Californian has disappointed fans on several occasions in the first few weeks of competition, such as his round of 16 in his hometown tournament last week. Taylor Fritz didn't have to wait long in this Miami Open, with a section of the draw that forced him to play his best tennis from the very first rounds. Victorious over Italy's Lorenzo Sonego and Canada's Denis Shapovalov, all without dropping a single set, the American has made his mark in Florida and can look forward to going far in a tournament that has lost several of its favorites. Tonight, Taylor Fritz will be the overwhelming favorite against a player not expected at this stage of the competition, Adam Walton.

The Australian is a lucky loser who made the most of his second chance. Victorious against Italy's Luciano Darderi and Hong Kong's Chak Wong, the 89th player in the world also seized the opportunity of a clear draw to reach the last 16 in Miami. Can he pull off the feat tonight? Adam Walton, who has never beaten a top 20 player in his career, will have to put on the greatest match of his career.
