THE LOWDOWN

29-year-old Jack Sock will be enjoying his time at Indian Wells as part of an exciting Men’s Doubles partnership with fellow American John Isner and their matches should cause quite the stir. His singles prowess after such a long injury lay-off is under constant scrutiny right now, with the former world number eight showing flashes of his best at the US Open last month with battling wins over Yoshihito Nishioka and Alexander Bublik. World number 58 John Millman has lost in the quarter-finals of his last two tournaments but with both of his opponents at the Astana Open and Sofia Open well outside the top 50 he will be ultimately disappointed with those campaigns. The 32-year-old is a consummate professional capable of giving anyone a game but his best performances this season look to be behind him after an encouraging Spring.

THE PREDICTION

Jack Sock took the first set against eventual semi-finalist Alexander Zverev in the third round of the US Open before an injury forced him to retire 2-1 down in the fourth and he will fancy his chances here against John Millman with the Aussie’s form curtailing. This is difficult to back with confidence due to Sock’s retirement from his last match but taking the American to use the crowd to earn at least a set here seems reasonable.
