Halep Rediscovering her Groove
Having spent the bulk of the last year struggling with injuries and the subsequent rehabilitation and the loss in form, Simona Halep seems to be finally getting back to her former self. The current world number 26 started hitting her stride towards the end of 2021 when she reached the final in Cluj-Napoca and the semis in Linz.
Halep picked up right where she left off; she won the title in Melbourne Set – her first such feat since the 2020 Italian Open. The 30-year-old followed it with a fourth-round appearance in the Australian Open (lost to Alize Cornet) and a semifinal run in Dubai (defeat to Jelena Ostapenko).
Her last tournament before coming to the valley was in Doha where she was stunned by Caroline Garcia in the opener.
Halep also boasts of a decent track record in Indian Wells; she won the event in 2015 and has since reached the penultimate rounds twice. This season, with a bye into round two, she started her campaign with a 6-2, 4-6, 6-2 win over Ekaterina Alexandrova.

Gauff Looking to Impress
17-year-old Cori Gauff continues to turn heads on the tour. As World No. 17, she has already achieved a lot more than what most professionals spend their careers attempting.
While her resume is still thin on trophies, the American’s ability to deliver good results consistently makes her a formidable opponent. In 2022, Gauff has already delivered a couple of good runs – she reached the semifinal in Adelaide and in Doha, she made it to the elite eight after upsetting Caroline Garcia and Paula Badosa en route.
Gauff also won the doubles trophy there with Jessica Pegula.
At the Indian Wells, where she reached the third round last season, the teenager started her run with a 6-1, 7-6(4) victory over Claire Liu.
Halep v Gauff Prediction and Tip
Halep should win this match owing to her far superior experience, form, and pedigree; it’s just a question of how she does it. Gauff may push this to three sets and make the Romanian work for the win.
Tip: Over 20.5 games in the match: 5/6 (Click Here to Bet with bet365)
