Tomljanovic on a Four-Match Main Draw Losing Streak
Ajla Tomljanovic hasn’t had the best of starts to 2022. She won her opening round matches in Sydney and Adelaide but hasn’t had more success in the main draws. Tomljanovic has lost her last four main draw matches, which includes a Round of 16 defeat in Sydney and first round exits from the Australian, Dubai and Qatar Opens.
The World No. 39 did win two qualifying rounds in Dubai, but lost the third one only to make the main draws as a lucky loser.
This will be Tomljanovic’s eighth main draw appearance at Indian Wells. She produced her best result in the tournament last year, when she defeated Garbine Muguruza en route the Round of 16.
Last year was also special for the Croatian-born Australian player as she reached the quarterfinals of a major for the first time in her career, reaching the last eight at Wimbledon.
Bringing a 4-6 overall record, including qualifiers, into the tournament, Tomljanovic will hope to end her losing run and find form quickly at Indian Wells.

Baptiste Looking to Impress
Hailey Baptiste has done well in qualifying for the tournaments this year. The 20-year-old American, who will be making her Indian Wells debut on Wednesday is 12-6 this year from all competitions.
Ranked No. 119th in the world, Baptiste qualified for her maiden Australian Open this year and won her opening round match against Caroline Garcia. She also qualified for the Guadalajara Open recently and reached the Round of 16 before bowing out.
In Monterrey, last week, Baptiste won her first qualifying round but failed to make the main draw after losing the second qualifying round.
The American, who is at a career-high ranking of 119, will be hoping to break into the top 100 soon and will look to make an impression at Indian Wells.
Tomljanovic v Baptiste Prediction and Tip
The higher-ranked Tomljanovic will be the favourite to win this contest. Expect her to advance and setup a second-round meeting with Sorana Cirstea, who is the 26th seed and has a first-round bye.
