To reach the quarter-finals of the BNP Paribas Open, unseeded Alex Michelsen must beat 11th seed Danill Medvedev. That's something the American has never previously achieved. Can he cause an upset? Read our match prediction below.

Whoever wins this will face either third seed Novak Djokovic or defending champion Jack Draper in the last eight.

Alex Michelsen hasn't just lost his three previous matches against Medvedev, he's yet to win a set. These players met in this outdoor hard court tournament last year but Michelsen retired after losing the first two games.

He has won nine of his 14 matches this year (8-4 on this surface). His best performance by far was a semi-final in Brisbane where he was beaten by Medvedev. To reach this stage at Indian Wells, he's beaten Daniel Merida Aguilar, Ugo Humbert and Taylor Fritz.

Daniil Medvedev is 11th in the live rankings (29 ahead of Michelsen) but only two players have earned more ranking points than him this year. He's already won outdoor hard court titles in Brisbane and Dubai.

His two matches so far in this Sunshine Swing tournament have been won against Alejandro Tabilo and Sebastian Baez with only ten games being lost. We tip him to defeat Michelsen in straight sets.
