Faria vs Atmane Prediction 24 September 2026
🔊 Jaime Faria and Terence Atmane meet for the first time on the ATP main tour at the ATP 250 in Hangzhou. The match looks an interesting one given both players' inconsistency in recent weeks and their proximity in the rankings. Notably, despite the Portuguese player ranking higher, it is the Frenchman who is the favourite. We'll see whether Atmane can justify that status against the tournament's seventh seed.
Head-to-Head
📊 The only previous meeting between these two was won by Terence Atmane. That match, however, was played in 2022 at a Futures event.
Jaime Faria Player Overview
Jaime Faria arrives at this match with six wins from his last ten. His most recent tournament was the US Open, where he lost in the second round to Carlos Alcaraz, taking a set off the Spaniard. Before that, Jaime made an impression at the Cincinnati Masters, coming through qualifying to reach the round of 16. Over those ten matches, Faria has won 61% of sets and held serve in 76% of service games, with an average match length of 22.9 games. Also worth noting is his return game, where he converts 39% of break points.

Terence Atmane Player Overview
Terence Atmane has won 4 of his last 10 matches, arriving in Hangzhou on a two-match losing streak. His most recent defeat came in the first round of the US Open, where he lost a five-set thriller to Jaume Munar. His set-winning percentage over that span was just 43, pointing to difficulties holding his own against opponents of a similar or higher level. He holds serve in 86% of his service games, though that has not prevented him from being drawn into lengthy matches - his average total games figure of 24.4 remains moderate by ATP standards.

Key factors
- Both players have a high proportion of two-set matches.
- In 6 of Jaime Faria's last 7 matches, the total games were under 22.5.
- Terence Atmane's set-winning percentage is below 50% over his last ten matches.
Expected scenario
Jaime Faria is expected to have the edge, having been more consistent through the summer hard-court swing and going slightly further at the US Open, where he took a set off Alcaraz himself. Given the average match length for both players, the main scenario does not involve tight finishes in every set, though at least one close stretch seems likely given how well both players hold serve.
⭐ Editor's Pick
Jaime Faria's form over the summer hard-court swing has been noticeably more consistent: he wins more often and is far less frequently drawn into extended matches than his upcoming opponent. Terence Atmane has seen a dip in his sets-won rate and shows no clear tendency towards tight scorelines even against opponents at a similar level. The combination of moderate scoring output from both players supports a scenario of a quick match, and in our view the advantage lies with the underdog, whose balance between attack and defence - based on his serve and return numbers - holds up better. We suggest taking advantage of the discrepancy in the odds and backing Faria - Games Handicap +2.5.
