Kudermetova, Looking Sharp
Number 21 seed Veronika Kudermetova is starting her campaign in this year’s Indian Wells Open with a bye into the second round. So far this season, she has been nothing short of brilliant as she reached her career-best singles ranking as World No. 24.
She has already reached two singles finals this year – one in Melbourne 1 (lost to Simona Halep) and the other in Dubai (defeat to Jelena Ostapenko). Coincidentally, she got a walkover in the semifinal of both these events – respectively against Naomi Osaka and Marketa Vondrousova.
Her last stint, however, was in Doha where she succumbed rather surprisingly to Arantxa Rus in the first round.
Kudermetova is also quite decent on the doubles side of things – with Elise Mertens, she won the title in Dubai and was the runner-up in Doha.
With a similar run last season – at least in the first half of the year – the 24-year-old has been gradually building her form.

Osaka Survives Stephens
Former World No. 1 Naomi Osaka had to start her campaign in the valley with a three-set win over Sloane Stephens. Despite a lack of momentum, Osaka overcame her adversary with 3-6, 6-1, 6-2.
Now ranked #78, the Japanese has dropped down in the rankings owing to a prolonged absence from WTA tournaments. She took time off after the US Open last season to focus on her mental health; so far in 2022, she has featured only in two events.
Her journey there was quite intriguing – Osaka reached the semifinal in Melbourne 1 but withdrew from the game; in the Aus Open, she went as far as the third round before losing to Amanda Anisimova.
As a four-time Grand Slam champion and a former Indian Wells winner, Osaka’s cannot be underestimated.
Osaka v Kudermetova Prediction and Tip
Objective, Kudermetova is in a much better form and will be optimistic about her chances against Osaka. However, considering that she is up against a former top-ranked player with an incredible pedigree, it won’t be an easy job for her. Expect this one to be a long match.
Tip: Over 20.5 games: 5/6 (Click Here to Bet with bet365)
