Ivashka Winless in 2023
Ilya Ivashka is the only player inside the world’s top 100 who is hunting down a match win this season. Ivashka has lost five times in 2023, including the qualifying round in Dubai this past week.
He is currently ranked 85th in the world, as his ranking continues to tumble with each defeat. In fact, his last win came at the Gijon Open last October when he defeated the soon-to-be-retired Feliciano Lopez. Since then he has lost nine times.
Ivashka will not be defending any points in North America this month, which should lessen the burden and pressure a bit. It also represents an opportunity to get his mojo back.
The Belarusian power hitter has played the Indian Wells Masters just once before, losing in the first round in 2019 to Guido Andreozzi.

Safiullin On Three-Match Losing Streak
Since winning the Koblenz Challenger at the start of February, Roman Safiullin has lost three in a row, most recently in the qualifying rounds of Dubai.
Saifullin fell to Pavel Kotov on his trip to the Middle East, which at the time looked like a major upset. But following Kotov’s first-round win over Alexei Popyrin in the same tournament, it was evident that the Czech was operating at a very high level.
The Russian has exited the world’s top 100 in the past month, largely because he lost a huge chunk of ranking points he garnered in Marseille last year.
The 25-year-old will have the chance to re-enter the centurion club in the coming weeks if he can tally some wins on hard courts this month.
Ivashka v Safiullin Prediction and Tip
Ivashka is the only player in the top 100 who hasn’t won a match in 2023. That is significant in the scheme of things here. And with Safiullin joining the winners’ circle last month, the Belarusian’s dismal run will likely continue.
