THE LOWDOWN

World number 59 Marcos Giron is a man in form after reaching the quarter-finals of each of his last three ATP 250 events and going one further last week with a semi-final defeat to Gael Monfils at the Sofia Open. The 28-year-old has beaten Alex de Minaur twice in that time for two top 30 wins and he came back well from a set down to beat in-form US Open quarter-finalist Botic van de Zandschulp on Thursday in an entertaining match. World number 34 Filip Krajinovic also reached the semi-final of the Sofia Open last week before losing to eventual champion Jannik Sinner in two. The 29-year-old reached a career-high 26th in the ATP world rankings back in 2018 and he made the Hamburg Open finals back in July after beating Stefanos Tsitsipas there.

THE PREDICTION

Marcos Giron is an intriguing player to watch at this moment in time as he enters Indian Wells at a career-high 59th in the world. The 28-year-old has been turning good performances into more competitive wins in recent weeks and be will be well-backed here as a Californian native with an exciting, hard-graft playstyle. Filip Krajinovic was the winner of their only previous meeting at the US Open last season but Giron’s current form suggests he can level things up here. Take the American to build on an impressive match against Van de Zandschulp with an outright win.
