Jaime Faria. Agatha gives Faria a 76% chance to win and predicts a 2-0 win in sets. It is Agatha's prediction for this match, sealed and graded like every pick.

Why Agatha picks Faria

Jaime Faria is 7-5 on clay courts this year, and he plays Round 1 of the Grand Prix Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes on a clay court. Faria is ranked No. 60 in the ATP rankings of 2026-10-01 and beat Arthur Fery 6-4, 3-6, 6-4 in Round 1 of the Japan Open Tennis Championships on Sep 30. Felix Balshaw lost to Aleksandar Kovacevic 6-4, 7-6 in Round 1 of the Winston-Salem Open on Aug 24. Agatha predicts straight sets and gives Faria about a 3-in-4 chance to win. The risk is Faria has lost two matches in a row, the latest at the Rolex Shanghai Masters.
