THE PREDICTION

Former world number three Elina Svitolina overcame Katerina Siniakova in three sets on Saturday to get a foothold in at Indian Wells but this is another deceptively tricky tie against in-form Emma Navarro. 22-year-old Navarro brought a career-high WTA world ranking of 23rd into the draw after an excellent past 10 months or so on tour, culminating in her claiming a maiden title at the Hobart International in January. The American came back from a set down to beat Lesia Tsurenko on Saturday but she will face a much tougher Ukrainian this time around and the crowd may struggle to back her completely, despite her place as a home underdog, with Svitolina’s incredible return from motherhood last season capturing the hearts and minds of tennis fans everywhere. Back Svitolina to edge through this first meeting between the two, with three sets likelier than two.

TIP: ELINA SVITOLINA TO WIN
