Jennifer Brady ends her long hiatus from Indian Wells and competes in this year’s championship as a wildcard. She will take on the unseeded Antonia Ruzic in the first round, with the winner playing Qinwen Zheng next. Read on for our prediction of this match.
Antonia Ruzic is making her Indiana Wells debut this week and will hope to have a strong start. The world number 57 is having a shaky year and, through 13 matches, has lost seven times.
She, however, has witnessed a more settling of her nerves in recent outings, winning three of her last four fixtures. Ruzic, who is back on the tour after a two-week break, is coming off a run to the quarter-finals in Dubai.
Jennifer Brady will compete at the BNP Paribas Open to end a seven-year hiatus from the tournament. The American last competed at Indian Wells in 2019, where she made it to the third round.
Brady is slowly getting her way back to peak fitness after a scary knee injury that threatened to end her career. The 31-year-old returned to competitive action this season after three years out and has played five matches, winning three times.
Currently ranked 743rd in the WTA, Brady is seeking her first win on tour since 2023.
