THE LOWDOWN
PAULA BADOSA
World number seven Paula Badosa overcame a huge test against Leylah Fernandez on Tuesday to reach the quarter-finals of Indian Wells without yet dropping a set. The 24-year-old found this form from the second round through to the semi-finals last October before a huge three-set victory over Victoria Azarenka in the final. Badosa qualified for the WTA Finals off the back of her first Masters title, where she lost to eventual champion Garbine Muguruza in the semi-finals.
VERONIKA KUDERMETOVA
24-year-old Veronika Kudermetova will set a new career-high WTA world ranking of at least 23rd after a thrilling three-set victory over Marketa Vondrousova on Tuesday. The Russian has found possibly the best form of her career this season with two runner-up finishes so far to Simona Halep at Melbourne 1 and to Jelena Ostapenko at the Dubai Tennis Championships. Kudermetova won her first WTA title at last season’s Charleston 500 on clay.
THE PREDICTION
This is a tough task for Paula Badosa with Veronika Kudermetova winning both of their tour-level meetings, both of which came last season in three sets at the Abu Dhabi Open and in two in the semi-finals of the WTA 500 Charleston Open that the Russian went on to win. Kudermetova has already beaten Naomi Osaka this week before an impressive battle over Vondrousova, making backing Paula Badosa to win at least a set as the likelier of two very capable winners the sensible thing to do.
