Francesca Jones vs Kayla Day prediction
Francesca Jones will hope to end a three-match losing run in the first-round of Indian Wells. Her season began strongly in Auckland as she won her first two encounters to reach the quarter-finals. However, she would retire from her match with Xinyu Wang and has since followed that up with early exits in Melbourne and Austin, which included another retirement.
She faces Kayla Day in round one. Day qualified for this WTA 1000 after straight set wins over Aliaksandra Sasnovich and Darja Semenistaja. She already has a title on the ITF circuit after success in Orlando at the start of last month, dropping just one set along the way.
Jones is the higher ranked player, but her fitness is always a concern, and she could be vulnerable against a player like Day, who has momentum after wins in qualifying and has already picked up a number of victories this season.
Francesca Jones vs Kayla Day tip: Both players to win a set
