Match recap

Jaime Faria defeated Adam Walton 4-6, 6-4, 7(7)-6(3) in the R32 of the Cincinnati Open 2026.

Nothing came back on return in the opening set — no break points at all for Faria, while Walton needed just one of his five chances to bank it. Then the return game showed up. Three breaks followed in the second, the last of them in game 10 for 6-4, and the decider brought his cleanest stretch: 83% of first-serve points won, seven aces, 19 winners to 11. Walton hit one double fault to Faria's 11 and still lost the points count 97-99 across 2h 10m. The win, two days after he beat ATP No. 10 Shelton, carries the 79th-ranked Faria into a first Masters round of 16 — one round past anything he had reached at the level.
