🎾 ATP Los Cabos – Quarterfinal Preview
Adam Walton vs James Duckworth
🔥 Walton is on a tear in Los Cabos, demolishing Basavareddy 6–1, 6–0 after easing past Pacheco Mendez in R1. Now 26–14 on hard courts in 2025, the rising Aussie is chasing his first ATP semifinal after earlier QF runs in Busan and a title in Brisbane. He recently cracked the Top 100 and owns a 1–2 head-to-head record against Duckworth, winning their last meeting in the 2024 Taipei Challenger.
🎭 Duckworth, 33, is quietly putting together a strong week with wins over Mannarino and Davidovich Fokina, both in straight sets. While his 2025 hard-court record stands at 11–8, he’s looked sharp here in Mexico. Health remains a concern—he retired in Wuxi and had an inconsistent grass swing—but his experience edge is undeniable: 860+ career matches and a decade on the Slam stage.
💥 Youth vs wisdom. Walton’s current form is peaking, but Duckworth’s savvy and feel for the big moments could turn this into a tactical chess match under the lights.
