THE PREDICTION
25-year-old Yue Yuan will set a new career-high WTA world ranking of 42nd after an excellent comeback over Caroline Dolehide extended her winning streak to eight. The Chinese won her maiden WTA title at the Austin Open two weeks ago to look ready for a surge up the rankings but a straight-sets upset over compatriot Qinwen Zheng in the second round certainly came as a shock. World number 12 Daria Kasatkina will do well not to underestimate her foe’s momentum here but the Russian’s consistent counter-punching marries up well with the slower conditions here at Indian Wells, with a comeback over Sloane Stephens on Monday an impressive result here. Three sets seem much likelier than two in what could well end up a marathon match late on Wednesday but back Kasatkina to just edge through this contest on experience and some under-the-radar strong form this season.
TIP: DARIA KASATKINA TO WIN
