Adam Walton vs Aleksandar Kovacevic prediction
Adam Walton began the season with five losses from his first six matches of the season. This included a straight sets defeat to world number one and eventual champion Carlos Alcaraz in the first-round of the Australian Open. He only entered the Delray Beach Open last week as a lucky loser but then produced his best display of the campaign so far as he beat Gabriel Diallo in straight sets. He failed to pick up back-to-back wins as he was defeated by Tommy Paul in the next stage of the tournament.
He faces Aleksandar Kovacevic next. The American’s season started with a strong showing in Brisbane, as he made the semi-finals. However, he has lost six of his following eight matches, with early exits in Montpellier, Delray Beach and Dallas.
Their only meeting was in the qualifying stage of this tournament last year, with Walton coming from a set down to win. He will look to prolong the rallies and force his opponent into errors, while Kovacevic will seek to dominate the shorter points. This could go to a deciding set, with no clear favourite.
