Jacob Fearnley vs Damir Dzumhur prediction

Jacob’s Fearnley’s search for a return to form continues at Indian Wells.

The Brit has managed just one tour-level win in 2026 and is danger of dropping outside of the top 100.

The world number 87’s hopes of a rare victory may be enhanced by the fact Damir Dzumhur has also found main draw wins hard to come by of late, but the Bosnian has been consistency hovering around the top 60 and leads 1-0 in the head-to-head.

That was a routine 6-4 6-2 success in Athens late last year on an indoor hardcourt and although these are slower conditions, we fancy that to work in Damir’s favour.
