James Duckworth vs Gabriel Diallo prediction
James Duckworth last competed at the Geneva Open earlier this month. He only entered the main draw as a lucky loser, and he was then beaten in the first-round by Laslo Djere. The Australian fared much better in his previous tournament as he won a Challenger title in Mexico City on clay. That was his second final appearance on the Challenger Tour this season, and Duckworth is still ranked inside the top 100 of the rankings.
He plays Gabriel Diallo in round one. It’s been a largely difficult season for the Canadian up to this point, as he’s failed to advance to the quarter-final of a tournament so far in 2026. He also has a negative win-loss record, having lost 12 of his 18 matches and four of his five encounters on clay.
Duckworth leads the ATP head-to-head 1-0 as he pulled off an upset last year by defeating Diallo at the Almaty Open. The Australian is certainly worth a set here.
