THE PREDICTION

Former world number 10 Lucas Pouille twice came back from sets down to squeak through qualifying this week, making his first appearance at Indian Wells since 2019. The 30-year-old has endured a really tough period on and off the court in recent seasons but his joyous return to Roland-Garros last summer saw a brief spark of life left in his career that could come to fruition over the coming months. World number 53 Daniel Altmaier should be blasting through this first encounter in straight sets at this moment in time, with Pouille currently ranked just inside the top 300, but the German is one of the more intermittent performers on tour. The 25-year-old stunned top seed and Alexander Zverev at the Mexican Open last week before a relatively drab exit to Miomir Kecmanovic and recent defeats on the South American clay should have been avoidable. Leave this potential coupon buster well away from any accumulators but otherwise back Altmaier to win outright.

TIP: DANIEL ALTMAIER TO WIN
