THE PREDICTION

This should be another thrilling battle between two of the form players this season. World number two Aryna Sabalenka won Adelaide 1 and her maiden Grand Slam title at the Australian Open in January but Krejcikova ended her winning streak at 13 matches with a brilliant comeback victory at the Dubai Masters on the way to her first WTA 1000 trophy. Former world number two Krejcikova is now the player with the streak to lose after making it eight wins on the spin with a tough three-set victory over Xinyu Wang on Sunday. 24-year-old Sabalenka received a useful rest on Sunday after Lesia Tsurenko withdrew from their third round match but she looked in top shape in her opening victory over Evgeniya Rodina. The slower courts at Indian Wells are best-suited to those who can generate their own power, like Sabalenka, and those who favour clay, like Krejcikova, and that makes this look the prospective match of the round on paper. Sabalenka leads Krejcikova 2-1 in their well-contested head-to-head and she has notably won at least a set in all three matches, so take that option here to leave the victor up to chance.
