THE PREDICTION
World number one Iga Swiatek looks the solid favourite to lift her second Indian Wells title this weekend with all of her most notable threats now removed from the draw. The 22-year-old was stunned in the third round of the Australian Open by an incredible performance by Linda Noskova in January but she gained a heavy vengeance over the Czech on Sunday to back-up a very convincing opener over Danielle Collins and she has seen recent vanquishers Elena Rybakina, Jelena Ostapenko and Anna Kalinskaya all drop from the draw in recent days. World number 79 Yulia Putintseva has enjoyed her bets run on tour for some time but she was likely fortunate to have met 18th seed Madison Keys in the American’s second match back from injury on Sunday. The Kazakh has lost each of her previous meetings with Swiatek in straight sets and that looks set to continue here.
TIP: IGA SWIATEK TO WIN 2-0
