First Main Draw Indian Wells Win for Potapova?
Anastasia Potapova has never won a main draw match in Indian Wells and she will have a very solid chance to do that against Doi. The Russian has not been playing too well this year with her form and level far from her best but even so, she will be confident heading into this match. She likes to attack and Indian Wells will give her an opportunity to do so.
In Mexico, she played solid but found herself running into a very inspired Elina Svitolina that destroyed her. One week earlier in Guadalajara, she lost to Anna Schmiedlova. On the year it’s been 5-6 so far and that’s about as accurate as you can explain her year.
It’s been okay but far from her best level. Doi is a measured opponent whom the Russian can beat in the right circumstances. A lot will depend on her and if she plays up to her level she should be favoured to win this very even matchup.

Mounting Struggles for Doi
Misaki Doi opened the year well in Australia with a quarterfinal run in Adelaide. Since then it’s been a slow decline of from that has her currently with an active 3-match losing streak. Her last win came at an ITF event in Orlando and that’s hardly impressive. Since then it’s been a string of bad results including a couple of losses in Mexico.
First, she put up a good effort against Marie Bouzkova in Guadalajara but lost in three sets. She travelled to Monterrey next but lost to Nuria Parrizas Diaz rather easily 6-2 6-1 in that match. Her level has been eroding over the past two months quite significantly and she is yet to overcome the barrier.
Historically, Indian Wells saw her play rather well as it allows her to unleash her very good lefty forehand. The conditions suit her and she was able to score some big wins here in the past. Last year it was an exit in the 2nd round and perhaps it’s time to finally win a match.
Potapova v Doi Prediction and Tip
So this is a very even match as neither player is playing that well right now. Doi showed more over the course of the year and generally has more experience when it comes to Indian Wells. It’s a matchup that could go either way as Potapova will have the match on her racquet.
If the Russian plays well and hits her shots she will win this comfortably however her consistency has been up and down all year and you never quite know what kind of level we will get from her. That’s why I think this will be a close match, certainly one that will go to three sets.
Which player comes out on top remains to be seen but I reckon Potapova might have a slight edge there. She is more talented overall and usually, that is rewarded in Indian Wells. Take the over on games to be safe and I reckon Potapova has the higher chance to win the match.
