Jacquet vs Vallejo Prediction 14 August 2026
🔊 Kirian Jacquet and Adolfo Daniel Vallejo make their debuts in the first round of the Masters in Cincinnati.

His South American opponent comes into the tournament on a three-match losing streak, and with minimal match practice on hard courts in recent weeks. The combination of these factors has predictably moved the odds in favor of the European player. Let's see if Jacquet can justify his status as the favorite.

Adolfo Daniel Vallejo Player Overview
Adolfo Daniel Vallejo ranks higher (66th versus the Frenchman's 121st), but his recent results have been far from consistent - just four wins in his last ten matches and a current three-match losing streak. Vallejo shows similar numbers to his upcoming opponent in games won (50%) and sets won (45%), while his points won on serve reaches 74%. His first serve goes in noticeably more often (61% of the time), but his double fault rate is quite high and exceeds the ATP Tour average (5%). In terms of attacking play, the Paraguayan falls short, which is evident even from his aces per service game (2.4).

⭐ Editor's prediction
Kirian Jacquet has shown slightly more consistent results over the distance, and his recent wins in the qualifying rounds of the current Masters event confirm he is in good shape heading into the tournament. His games and sets won balance edges out Vallejo's numbers at similar hold percentages. A fairly competitive match is expected, with a slight advantage for the Frenchman, who simply hits more winners while making fewer errors. All of this leads us to favor Jacquet to win.
