🌴 Miami Masters: Fritz vs. Walton 🎾
A classic David vs. Goliath matchup as American star Taylor Fritz faces Australian qualifier Adam Walton under the Miami lights.
Taylor Fritz 🌊
Redemption Arc: Avenged his Dallas loss to Shapovalov in straight sets after early exits in Delray Beach and Indian Wells.
Pressure Points: As first American top-4 player at home since 2007, needs deep run to maintain ranking before clay season.
Home Struggles: Just one Miami QF in eight attempts - surprising for US #1 outside Indian Wells success.
Adam Walton ☀️
Cinderella Run: Lucky loser who got first-round bye, then faced out-of-form Darderi and avoided Shelton.
Breakthrough: First back-to-back main draw wins in 18 attempts at tour level after dominating Challengers.
Big Test: Facing first top-10 opponent after previously challenging #18 Tiafoe in Brisbane.
Head-to-Head
First meeting between the American star and Australian qualifier.
