THE PREDICTION
25-year-old Borna Coric set a career-high ATP world ranking of 12th back in 2018 but the Croatian has struggled with injuries for large parts of the last four years. His latest lay-off has taken exactly a year, with his last match a semi-final defeat to Marton Fucsovics at the Rotterdam Open last March, and the next few months will be about gradually gathering his game back together on court. The Indian Wells draw has not been kind to Coric, with world number 45 Alejandro Davidovich Fokina a very tough competitor whose game should suit the conditions here. 22-year-old ADF has played his best tennis this season in close defeats to Felix Auger-Aliassime at the Australian Open and Stefanos Tsitsipas at the Rotterdam Open and he should be taking this first encounter in straight sets. However, taking the Spaniard as outright winner is the wise decision against an anomaly like Coric. It is also worth considering that the Croat may withdraw here, so best to keep this one out of an accumulator.
