THE PREDICTION

17-year-old Robin Montgomery was handed a wildcard to the main draw at Indian Wells for a Masters debut to savour. The world number 165 will be well-backed by a likely partisan crowd against Estonian veteran Kaia Kanepi, although the 36-year-old is a well-respected four-time WTA titlist with more experience than half this first round put together. World number 63 Kanepi is playing in her first tournament since reaching the quarter-finals of the Australian Open for a first time – meaning she has reached the last eight of all four Grand Slams now. Kanepi has not played on tour for over a month and that makes taking Montgomery to snatch a set look a tempting move here but realistically Kanepi should be backed to win through in straight sets. The outright pick is the suitably cautious compromise.
