Karatsev Out to Stall Poor Run of Form

After making a solid start to the season following a six-match winning streak to kick-start 2022, Karatsev has slumped into a bad rut and seen his ranking plummet as a result.

The world number 22 lost five of the next six matches, including back to back encounters in Marseille and Dubai to bow out of the competitions. In both those defeats, Karatsev fell to opponents who had gone into the matches as low as 6/4 odds to get through.

What Karatsev will now hope for is a bit of a turnaround in fortunes, as he looks to get back to his winning ways. This is just his second appearance at Indian Wells Open, a tournament he had reached the fourth round last season.

Can he kick-start things here with a facile win to give himself some of that old confidence back?

Johnson Tames Altmaier in Opener

After back to back defeats to Stefan Kozlov spread across two different weeks, Johnson got himself back on track with an opening round win here in Indian Wells.

The American registered a straight-set win over Daniel Altmaier, defeating the world number 79, 6-3, 7-6 (3) to make it to the second round.

Stalling Altmaier’s eight aces and a potential for a late comeback in the encounter, Johnson ensured he wouldn’t be take down in the tie-breaker as he raced off to a 5-1 lead in it. He missed one match-point before closing out the encounter in straight sets.

This will be Johnson’s fifth appearance in the second round of competitions this year but he has never gone beyond that. Against Karatsev he might not start out as a favourite but given his opponent’s struggles it might not be beyond him to think on the lines of an upset.

Karatsev v Johnson Prediction and Tip

Karatsev is 1/2 to win this while Johnson starts out at 13/8 to come through to a win. Expecting Johnson to win at least a set in this one.

Tip: Johnson to win a set – Yes: 8/13 (Click Here to Bet with bet365)
