Sakkari\u2019s playing style of attacking more with her forehand and generally being more solid in the rallies presents a different challenge for the teenager. I expect this to be a close battle that Sakkari wins by effectively bringing her forehand into play enough times over the course of the match.<\/p>\n<p>Prediction: Sakkari in 3<\/p>\n<p>Belinda Bencic vs Storm Hunter<\/p>\n<p>Head-to-head: Bencic 1-0 Hunter<\/p>\n<p>Hunter has triumphed three times since qualifying, including coming from behind against Magdalena Frech in her last match. However, I do not anticipate Bencic facing many issues here. Hunter usually has to play near best to win WTA main draw matches. Bencic is significantly better in all areas, and this could be the ideal opening round match for her.<\/p>\n<p>Prediction: Bencic in 2<\/p>\n<p>Iga Swiatek vs Kayla Day<\/p>\n<p>Head-to-head: First meeting<\/p>\n<p>There is not much pressure on World No. 187 Day. She performed terrifically to beat Francesca Jones 6-3 6-1, but playing Swiatek at a tournament where she has been very successful will be an entirely different challenge. Day does not possess any weapons to hurry the Pole. A poor performance from Swiatek would be needed to make an upset possible.<\/p>\n<p>Prediction: Swiatek in 2<\/p>\n<p>Madison Keys vs Diane Parry<\/p>\n<p>Head-to-head: First meeting<\/p>\n<p>Parry\u2019s game could cause Keys problems. The Frenchman\u2019s topspin forehand and slice give her a chance of getting the home favorite bending and moving, which is usually important to beating her. Nonetheless, I still feel Keys\u2019s superior firepower, especially into Parry\u2019s backhand, makes her the more likely winner.<\/p>\n<p>Prediction: Keys in 3<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo Credit: Robert Deutsch-Imagn Images<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The remaining 16 WTA Indian Wells matches will be completed on Day 4. 2025 Australian Open champion Madison&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":405733,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[72],"tags":[40311,126702,221271,131318,131319,2660,108359,230131,230132,138515,138516,12764,144012,28622,186146,99,93804,93805,428,9985,9986,231101,229137,66331,66332],"class_list":{"0":"post-509163","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tennis","8":"tag-belinda-bencic","9":"tag-belinda-bencic-predictions","10":"tag-bnp-paribas-open","11":"tag-diane-parry","12":"tag-diane-parry-predictions","13":"tag-iga-swiatek","14":"tag-iga-swiatek-predictions","15":"tag-kayla-day","16":"tag-kayla-day-predictions","17":"tag-lilli-tagger","18":"tag-lilli-tagger-predictions","19":"tag-madison-keys","20":"tag-madison-keys-predictions","21":"tag-maria-sakkari","22":"tag-maria-sakkari-predictions","23":"tag-sports","24":"tag-storm-hunter","25":"tag-storm-hunter-predictions","26":"tag-tennis","27":"tag-tennis-picks","28":"tag-tennis-predictions","29":"tag-wta-indian-wells","30":"tag-wta-indian-wells-predictions","31":"tag-wta-picks","32":"tag-wta-predictions"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/509163","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=509163"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/509163\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/405733"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=509163"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=509163"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=509163"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
