Kayla Day vs Iga Swiatek prediction

Kayla Day comfortably defeated Francesca Jones to advance to the second-round of Indian Wells. Day needed to qualify for this event and is ranked over 90 places below Jones, but she dominated throughout, not losing her serve and breaking on four occasions to win 6-3 6-1 after one hour and 13 minutes.

Iga Swiatek is her next opponent. The two-time champion at Indian Wells is seeking a third title. She has not enjoyed the best of starts to this campaign, as her hopes of a Career Grand Slam in Melbourne were ended at the quarter-final stage by Elena Rybakina. She then competed in Doha but surprisingly lost to Maria Sakkari despite going a set up in their last eight match. This ended her remarkable record of having never lost a WTA 1000 match when leading by a set.

Swiatek has a really strong record here and she is likely to start her campaign with a convincing win over Day.

Kayla Day vs Iga Swiatek tip: Under 19.5 games
