THE LOWDOWN
KRISTINA KUCOVA
World number 77 Kristina Kucova came back from a set down to beat Elena-Gabriela Ruse on Thursday to play in the second round of Indian Wells for successive seasons. The Slovakian came through to the second round as a lucky loser last October to lose again to Shelby Rogers in straight sets.
ANETT KONTAVEIT
26-year-old Anett Kontaveit has been in the form of her life for about six months now, taking her up to a career-high WTA world ranking of fifth last week. The Estonian won the sixth title of her career at the St. Petersburg Open last month, with four won over the course of just a few months last season. Kontaveit finished runner-up to Garbine Muguruza at the WTA finals on her debut in November and she finished runner-up to Iga Swiatek at the Qatar Masters last time out.
THE PREDICTION
This should be quite the hammering for Kristina Kucova who, through no fault of her own, has drawn one of the shortest straws in the draw. World number five Anett Kontaveit is a winning machine right now who requires the very best players to take even a set off her, let alone win the match. Back Kontaveit to win this first meeting in straight sets.
