Sloane Stephens v Shelby Rogers Head to Head

This will be the first time that Stephens and Rogers are meeting in a competitive match.

Stephens Loses Indian Wells Opener

In a rare show of consistency, Stephens had managed to win successive matches at both, the Merida Open and the Austin Open in the weeks leading up to the Indian Wells Open.

At both those competitions, the American made it to the quarterfinals before suffering stunning defeats.

She was double-bagelled by Camila Giorgi in Merida before Varvara Gracheva overcame Stephens in Austin. Again, that was a straight-set loss.

Which is probably why Stephens wasn’t quite the favourite coming into her first round match at the Indian Wells Open against Sofia Kenin but then again nor was her opponent.

Stephens tried hard in the opening set but fell away quickly in the second, losing 6-4, 6-1 to register her sixth defeat of the season. Those wins in Austin and Merida have been her only victories for the year.

Can she now overpower Rogers?

Rogers Slowly Building Her Form

While Rogers hasn’t quite got the results going her way in the manner she would have liked this season, there have been enough signs she is slowly building her form.

She had begun the season with successive qualifications for Adelaide 1 and Adelaide 2 but that was followed up with first round exits at those tournaments. At the Australian Open she made the second round before going down to the eventual champion Aryna Sabalenka.

Her best performance came in Abu Dhabi though, with Rogers making it through the qualifiers and then shocking Leylah Fernandez and Anett Kontaveit to enter the quarterfinal.

Having reached the third round in Miami in two of her past three appearances, Rogers will hope to build on that and her second round appearances at Dubai and Indian Wells.

Stephens v Rogers Prediction and Tip

Given the erratic nature of Stephens’ form, Rogers is 3/5 to win this and we have to go with the bookmakers here. Might not even go to a third set.
