THE PREDICTION
25-year-old Anna Kalinskaya set a new career-high WTA world ranking of 24th after her fabulous run to the Dubai Masters final last month, although she will be thoroughly disappointed to have lost to fellow surprise finalist Jasmine Paolini from a set up. Kalinskaya stunned Jelena Ostapenko, Coco Gauff and top seed Iga Swiatek en-route to the final to prove her previous run to the quarter-finals of the Australian Open no fluke and she has the game to excel over the next month both here in Indian Wells and at the Miami Open – if she can bounce back from that gut-wrenching defeat. World number 77 Taylor Townsend will be backed to the hilt as a popular home underdog in this contest on Friday and she proved herself a handful with a comeback over Magda Linette in the first round. Kalinskaya lost her next match after her huge run in Melbourne was ended by eventual runner-up Qinwen Zheng but it was a close-run affair against Karolina Pliskova. Back the Russian to win outright here with some serious momentum behind her tidy game.
TIP: ANNA KALINSKAYA TO WIN
