THE PREDICTION
World number 53 Mackenzie McDonald is enjoying the form of his career right now and there is a genuine chance at a huge upset here as he faces seventh seed Holger Rune for the first time. The California native won eight games in a row against Filip Krajinovic on Thursday in an impressive hammering whilst 19-year-old Rune comes off a tough three-set defeat to Alex de Minaur in the semi-finals of the Mexican Open last week. Acapulco is a harsh place to play tennis matches and Rune could still be feeling the effects of that defeat from a set up to the eventual champion as he comes into Indian Wells, though he remains the favourite here. McDonald will be well-backed by a likely partisan crowd and the tournament directors have given him a late match time on a big court to try and amp up that atmosphere. The sensible pick looks like taking Rune to win through outright here but you could consider backing McDonald to earn at least a set to leave the victor up to chance.
