THE PREDICTION
World number 32 Botic van de Zandschulp was forced to retire from his Indian Wells opener two weeks ago against Ilya Ivashka and it remains to be seen how fit the Dutchman is here. The 27-year-old has been struggling to find his best, most consistent level this season after a remarkable rise up the rankings in 2021 and 2022 but if he is fit and firing he remains the favourite to come through here. World number 93 Alexei Popyrin is through to the second round after Mikael Ymer suffered a horrid injury in the second set of their match on Wednesday. The 23-year-old is capable of tennis far better than his current ranking suggests but he has a long way to go to build back his game after enduring a horror season last year. The Aussie has upset top 10 talent this season in Felix Auger-Aliassime and Taylor Fritz but his inconsistency makes him hard to back at the moment. Take Van de Zandschulp to win at least a set and leave the victor up to chance or risk an outright pick for the Dutchman.
