Jaime Faria of Portugal opens his campaign at the 2025 Maia Challenger against Filip Cristian Jianu of Romania.
Current Form:
Faria seeks to end his three-match losing streak when he takes on Filip Jianu. Ranked 149th in the world, Faria hasn’t tasted a win since topping Edas Butvilas of Lithuania in a three-set tussle 1-6, 6-4, 6-4 in the qualifying stage of the Brest Challenger. Faria recently lost to Vit Kopriva of the Czech Republic 6-3, 6-2 in the qualifying stage of the 2025 Hellenic Championships. Faria is 9-15 on clay in 2025.
Jianu will attempt to bounce back from an early-round exit of Marco Trungelliti of Argentina 5-7, 7-6, 4-6 in the round of 32 at the Montemar Challenger. The 24-year-old Jianu is 37-30 on clay and 39-39 overall in 2025. Jianu won the ITF M15 Antalya in September after besting Bekhan Atlangeriev of Russia 6-1, 6-1.
