THE LOWDOWN
CLAIRE LIU
World number 87 Claire Liu beat Viktoriya Tomova in straight sets on Wednesday to reach the second round of Indian Wells for the first time. The 21-year-old American is a Californian native with a bright future after plenty of success on the ITF tour last season.
COCO GAUFF
17-year-old Coco Gauff is currently one place behind her career-high WTA world ranking of 16th after a strong start to the new season. The American lost to the eventual champion of her first two tournaments in Adelaide, Ash Barty and Madison Keys, before a brief slump at the Australian Open. However, Gauff beat Paula Badosa to reach the quarter-finals of the Qatar Open last time out before losing to Maria Sakkari there.
THE PREDICTION
Barring a shock loss to Qiang Wang in the first round of the Australian Open it has taken players at the very top of the sport to beat Coco Gauff this season. World number 87 Claire Liu is set to continue a steady progression up the rankings this year and beyond but it would be a surprise to see 17-year-old Gauff crash out on US soil with the likely vast majority of the crowd on her side between two Americans. Gauff can be backed tentatively to take this in two.
