Lilli Tagger vs Ella Seidel prediction
Lilli Tagger advanced from the first-round of Indian Wells after beating Varvara Gracheva in straight sets. This continued a fine run of form for the 18-year-old, as she reached the final of events in Mumbai and Fujairah, winning the latter. She would lose to Maria Sakkari in the next round, but the Austrian has built up an impressive run of results during the opening months of 2026.
Ella Seidel is her first-round opponent. The German defeated Marina Stakusic in the first stage of qualifying, but then lost to Rebecca Masarova, but she still enters as a lucky loser. Seidel has largely struggled with results so far and has a negative win-loss record this season.
Tagger’s recent results indicate that she is a player who is growing with confidence, and she has a fantastic chance to beat Seidel, who has not reached the same heights as she managed during the latter part of 2025.
