THE PREDICTION

World number 131 Katie Volynets secured one of the biggest upsets of the first round here at Indian Wells with a straight-sets victory over teenage sensation Mirra Andreeva. The 22-year-old is only a youngster herself but she endured a tough sophomore season after setting a career-high of 74th this time last year to suggest a corner is being turned now. World number six Ons Jabeur has been struggling with a persistent knee complaint that saw her have to retire injured from the Qatar Masters before withdrawing entirely from Dubai. The 29-year-old will be desperate to bounce back hard after feeling like she let fans down on the Middle East swing but this will be a serious challenge against a home underdog, particularly as there is no telling how fit she can be. The slower hardcourt conditions here in the desert should suit Jabeur’s disruptive game to a tee at her best but backing Volynets to earn at least a set looks the sensible way to avoid a result.

TIP: KATIE VOLYNETS TO WIN A SET
