THE PREDICTION
Former world number one Caroline Wozniacki has been a finalist three times here at Indian Wells between 2010 and 2013, winning in 2011, but her most recent of an illustrious 30 titles was also her biggest when she won the Australian Open in 2018. The Dane retired from professional tennis two seasons later but she returned with a vengeance last summer, reaching the round of 16 at the US Open before defeat in three tight sets to eventual champion Coco Gauff. A 1-3 record for 2024 so far suggests the initial adrenaline from returning has faded a little but Wozniacki is still well capable of going on a deep run here in conditions that suit her and she will be desperate to impress on a favoured court.
World number 62 Lin Zhu failed to defend her Hua Hin Championships title last month, finishing runner-up to Diana Shnaider, and she has struggled to get back on the horse since. A three-match losing streak does not bode well for her chances against Wozniacki in their first meeting on tour but she is a tough competitor well capable of out-fighting her opponent. Three sets seem likelier than two so take Zhu to win at least one of them with the better results this season.
TIP: LIN ZHU TO WIN A SET
