Third seed Elena Rybakina and 28th seed Marta Kostyuk will face off in the third round at Indian Wells. This will be their fifth career meeting on the tour. Read on for our prediction of this match.
Marta Kostyuk returned to the tour this week after a month-long injury layoff and had a winning return. The Ukrainian, who had a strong start to the campaign before being disrupted by an ankle injury, defeated qualifier Taylor Townsend in straight sets.
She has now won five of seven fixtures. The world number 28, who defeated two top 10 players on her way to the Brisbane final, is a former Indian Wells semi-finalist.
Elena Rybakina has made it to the second week of competition in each of her last three seasons at Indian Wells. A champion of the event in 2023, the world number three will be confident of maintaining this streak given her strong record against Kostyuk.
Rybakina has won the last three meetings with Kostyuk and has done so without dropping a set. She won their most recent matchup in Montreal last season.
This year’s Australian Open champion, Rybakina, had a tough opening round battle with Hailey Baptiste and won via a decider in two hours and 18 minutes.
