Matteo Arnaldi vs Mackenzie McDonald prediction
Matteo Arnaldi will look to kickstart his season at Indian Wells.
The Italian hasn’t featured since an early loss at the Australian Open and has yet to win on tour this year.
The world number 85 has tumbled down the rankings over the past 12 months but does own a 1-0 head-to-head lead over Mackenzie McDonald.
The American has also been devoid of much form recently and is now down at 126 in the rankings. However, the 30-year-old was impressive in qualifying and will hope to take advantage of his opponent’s limited match time.
Their maiden meeting went the distance and it feels like this one could too.
Matteo Arnaldi vs Mackenzie McDonald tip: Over 2.5 sets
