THE PREDICTION
This could be one of the best matches of the day on Wednesday as in-form Dominik Koepfer meets up-and-coming Alexander Shevchenko for the first time. 29-year-old Koepfer will be the popular draw as a former college player and he brings a career-high ATP world ranking of 49th into Indian Wells after stunning Frances Tiafoe to reach the quarter-finals of the Mexican Open last week. World number 51 Shevchenko brings a three-match losing streak into the desert but recent wins over Zhizhen Zhang and Holger Rune at the Rotterdam Open last month are proof of what he can do in these conditions, although the incoming clay swing holds more prospect for the Kazakh after last season’s remarkable spell in Madrid. Shevchenko finished runner-up to Ugo Humbert at the Metz Open late last season but it is notable that his best work on hardcourts has come indoors. Back Koepfer to use the home-from-home crowd to edge through.
TIP: DOMINIK KOEPFER TO WIN
