THE PREDICTION
World number 67 Cristina Bucsa enjoyed a run to the quarter-finals of the Abu Dhabi Open this time last month, riding the second wind as a lucky loser until defeat to eventual champion Elena Rybakina, but she has otherwise struggled to make a dent on tour for some time. However, the Spaniard looks the slightest favourite in this first encounter with world number 51 Caroline Dolehide, who brings a four-match losing streak into Indian Wells with just two wins from her eight matches so far in 2024. The 25-year-old enjoyed an incredible run to the Guadalajara Masters last September, albeit in a reduced field, but she has struggled to reach those heights since finishing runner-up to Maria Sakkari. Similar conditions to Guadalajara here in the desert could come to her aid but back Bucsa to win at least a set to leave the victor up to chance.
TIP: CRISTINA BUCSA TO WIN A SET
