ATP Los Cabos

Shapovalov D. - Walton A.

🧠 Form & Context

Denis Shapovalov
🔥 On a roll: The Canadian is into his third semifinal of 2025 and seeking a second title after winning Dallas earlier this year.
💪 Power meets confidence: Beat Nanda and Schoolkate convincingly in straight sets this week; his serve and forehand are clicking again.
🎯 Hard-court pedigree: 9–6 on hard courts in 2025, with wins over Fritz, Paul, Michelsen, and a finals appearance in Dallas.
✅ H2H edge: Beat Walton 6-3, 6-2 earlier this year in Indian Wells with little trouble.

Adam Walton
🎯 Career-best week: Reaching his maiden ATP semifinal after impressive wins over Pacheco Mendez, Basavareddy, and Duckworth.
🎾 Hard-court grinder: With XX hard-court wins this season, Walton has been active and reliable at Challenger and ATP levels.
🧱 Mental resilience: Showed great resolve coming from a set down to beat Duckworth—his second comeback this week.
🔁 Revenge on the mind: Lost comfortably to Shapovalov at Indian Wells, but has clearly made progress since then.

🔍 Match Breakdown
Shapovalov enters as the clear favorite—he’s a level above in terms of weapons, especially with his lefty serve and backhand aggression. He’s also playing more disciplined tennis, keeping the unforced errors in check against lower-ranked opponents.

Walton’s advantage lies in consistency and stamina. His counter-punching style thrives in longer rallies, and he’s used that effectively this week. But unlike his previous opponents, Shapovalov will dictate the tempo and won’t let him settle into rhythm.

Altitude in Los Cabos favors the more explosive player—and that leans heavily toward Shapovalov. Unless the Canadian implodes or gets dragged into too many grinding exchanges, he should be able to hit through Walton’s defenses and close this in straights.

🔮 Prediction
Walton has had a breakthrough week, but this matchup doesn’t favor him stylistically. Shapovalov has both the firepower and recent form to maintain control and seal the deal.
