THE PREDICTION
World number 141 Lukas Klein is enjoying his best season on tour so far at 25 years old, with a superb five-set exit to Alexander Zverev in the second round of the Australian Open suggesting he is ready for a breakthrough. The Slovak enjoyed some success on the challenger circuit late last season to bring some momentum into 2024 and after something of a quiet period he looks well capable of going on a run on his debut at Indian Wells after an impressive qualifying campaign.
World number 166 Nicolas Moreno de Alboran also qualified well this week to make his Masters debut here in the desert and he is seeking just his second ever tour-level win after a run to the round of 16 at Delray Beach last month. Klein has the better results to look the slight favourite in this first encounter between the two and with the competition for eyes very fierce in the first round here home advantage may not benefit De Alboran significantly enough. Back Klein to earn at least a set to leave the victor up to chance.
TIP: LUKAS KLEIN TO WIN A SET
