Hailey Baptiste must beat Emiliana Arango for the first time to reach round two at Indian Wells. The winner will face 14th seed Linda Noskova in round two of this outdoor hard court tournament. Time for our match prediction.
Although the 24-year-old has lost both of her previous matches against Arango, they were played on clay and one was played in 2019. The American has a 6-6 record this year with a best performance of a semi-final in Abu Dhabi.
That included a win over Emma Navarro and taking Ekaterina Alexandrova to a deciding set. Before that, Baptiste reached round three of the Australian Open.
A win here will take Baptiste into round two of this Sunshine Swing tournament for the third successive year.
Emiliano Arango is 105th in the live rankings, 59 places below her opponent. It’s not been a good start to the year for her with just one of her seven matches lost and five out of six on this surface.
The 25-year-old won in her last tournament in Merida but retired in the second round. This is her first time in the main draw of this WTA 1000 tournament. Her only previous appearance saw her lose her first qualifying round match in 20224.
We tip Baptiste to win in straight sets.
