Kucovoa, Hoping to Deliver her Best Result in the Valley
31-year-old Kristina Kucova, in all her years since turning pro in 2008, has never made it beyond the second round in the Indian Wells Open. In fact, that sole second-round feat came only last season as a qualifier.
Even then, she fell in the final qualifying round to Mai Hontama but by the virtue of the lucky loser rule, she got a ticket to the main draw and a walkover in the first round. This year, she didn’t have to go through the qualifiers and defeated Elena-Gabriela Ruse in the opener to set up the Kontaveit match.
In her long career, Kucova has had only two trysts with WTA finals. The first one came in a Challenger event in 2020 and the other came last year in the Poland Open (runner-up, lost to Maryna Zanevska).
The Slovakian has never been particularly impressive in upper-tier events, evident from her recent form. In Adelaide 2, Dubai, St. Petersburg, and Doha, Kucova was beaten in the qualifiers while in Lyon, Australian Open, and Adelaide 1, she fell in the opening rounds.

Kontaveit Continues to Soar
With a tally of 13-3 in 2022, Anett Kontaveit has been absolutely sensational. She is now World No. 5 – a career-best for her – and looks determined to go further.
The Estonian has reached the final in her last two tournaments – in St. Petersburg, she went the distance while in Doha, she had to settle for the runner-up feat. In both these tournaments, Kontaveit overcame some big names like Belinda Bencic, Jelena Ostapenko, and Ons Jabeur.
Last season, the 26-year-old won four competitions and was a finalist in three other events – including the WTA Finals. At Indian Wells, she reached the quarterfinal and will hope to go beyond this time around.
Kontaveit v Kucova Prediction and Tip
Kontaveit is among the most consistent players on the tour at this point in time and has proven to be quite difficult to beat. Looking at a majority of her recent few losses, there has been only one instance where she fell to a player ranked outside the top 50.
Expect her to defeat Kucova in straight sets and reach the next round comfortably.
