THE PREDICTION

Former world number four Sofia Kenin looks to be slowly making her back to a more recognisable version of herself after several years of poor form saw her fall into the wilderness. The current world number 164 beat Sloane Stephens handily at this stage of Indian Wells two weeks ago before taking eventual champion Elena Rybakina to two tight tiebreaks before defeat in the second round and this looks a reasonable opening draw against qualifier Storm Hunter. 28-year-old Hunter will have plenty to say about that in this first meeting with Kenin after taking out Kimberly Birrell and Kaja Juvan in straight sets to make the main draw but she has not won a tour-level singles match in over a year. Kenin still has a very high ceiling at 24 years old but it is hard to predict when and where she will find it again. In the meantime, taking the American to win outright looks a reasonable call.
