Jacob Fearnley vs Taylor Fritz prediction

Taylor Fritz will try to put some recent disappointments behind him at Indian Wells.

The 2022 champion lost in the final in Dallas and then came up short in the quarter finals at Delray Beach, leaving him to seek a statement tournament to re-establish himself as a force in the top ten.

The American meets Great Britain’s Jacob Fearnley for the first time after the world number 87 claimed just a second tour-level win of the year with a 6-3 6-3 success over Damir Dzumhur.

It was a solid and most-welcome display from Fearnley’s point of view, but he’s unlikely to do more than be competitive against Fritz with the seventh seed very likely to be too good across all departments.
