Viktorija Golubic v Yulia Putintseva Head to Head
They played once before and it came a long time ago in 2019 at Wimbledon. Golubic won that match 6-4 7-6(3).

Plateau for Golubic
After months of steady progress last year, Viktorija Golubic seemed to have hit a plateau. The Swiss played has been a surprising player last year winning several high profile matches against very good players. That has not been the case this year with a 5-6 record and mostly losses where she would have scored victories last year.
Golubic likes to play attacking tennis and generally plays rather well when she is aggressive. However, this year players have been better prepared for her and the result has not been the same. It’s easier to counter what she is trying to do and the consistency is not there.
A lot of what she does is based on confidence and there simply isn’t much this year. Perhaps things can change here but Putintseva is a very tough matchup for her.

End of Losing Streak for Putintseva
After crashing out in round 1 of two consecutive events, Putintseva was finally able to win a match. The Kazakhstani player does best on clay which is why her hard court record might not be too impressive but Indian Wells give her a chance to utilize the best in her game.
She moves rather well, she is able to cover the court and she rarely gives up. Indian Wells tends to reward all of those things and she has a solid chance to score a round 3 appearance with a win against Golubic. Putintseva is a 3-3 on the year and she can certainly do much better.
Last year she bowed out in round 3 against Ostapenko and it was the final even she played that year. She will hope to repeat and possibly go even further than last year.
Golubic v Putintseva Prediction and Tip
This is a very hard matchup to call as both players have equal chances to win the match. There are some things that might sway you one way or another. Golubic generally does rather good on fast courts which Indian Wells is not. They played once before at Wimbledon and Golubic won that match.
Had it been played at the French Open, Putintseva probably would have won. She is the better mover, has more precise shots and generally enjoys longer rallies more than her opponent. All of that goes in her favour in Indian Wells and if she can bait Golubic in rallies, she will have a good chance of winning this match.
Obviously, the Swiss player has shown more in the past year but in these conditions, at this stage in the calendar, I feel Putintseva is the play here. She does tend to complicate things quite often so a 3-setter is more than possible.
Tip: Putintseva to win in three sets: 3/1 (Click Here to Bet with bet365)
