THE PREDICTION

This could end up the match of the round on Tuesday if Marketa Vondrousova and Karolina Muchova bring their contrasting but equally excellent best to the court. The two Czechs share some similarities at this moment in time as both are former top 20 talents returning from long periods of injury, with Muchova current ranked at world number 76 and Vondrousova at number 105. 26-year-old Muchova stunned two-time former Indian Wells champion Victoria Azarenka on Saturday and she did well to survive a surprising assault by Martina Trevisan on Monday to come through in three sets. Not to be outdone, 23-year-old Vondrousova beat Ons Jabeur for the second time this season to reach the round of 16 without yet dropping a set. This is the first tour-level meeting between the two and it is difficult to call as Muchova is the better hard-courter but the slow conditions at Indian Wells also suit Vondrousova’s instincts for clay. Take the match to see three sets and leave the victor up to chance, although third round results suggest backing Vondrousova to earn at least one of them is the most sensible way to lean.
