Unseeded Arthur Cazaux makes his return from injury. He takes on wild card Michael Zheng in round one of the BNP Paribas Open. Read our match prediction below.
The winner of this outdoor hard court match will face tenth seed Alexander Bublik in the second round.
Arthur Cazaux has only played two matches in 2026. The Frenchman won his opening Australian Open qualifier but then retired with an elbow injury after eight games of his next match.
Cazaux is playing in the main draw of this Masters event for the first time after twice failing to qualify. He’s 69th in the live rankings and last year won one Challenger Tour event on this surface last year.
Michael Zheng is playing in this Sunshine Swing tournament for the first time. The American is up to a career-high 141st in the live rankings.
2026 began with Zheng making it to the last four of a Challenger Tour event. He qualified for the main draw of the Australian Open and beat Sebastian Korda in round one. The next round saw Zheng retire against Corentin Moutet.
His last match was in Dallas, again taking on Korda but losing in straight sets this time. We tip Cazaux to win.

Our Michael Zheng vs Arthur Cazaux Prediction
This is not a match to place large bets on, especially pre-match. Both players have already retired from one match this year and failed to win since doing so. Mainly placing in-play bets looks a sensible idea.
Arthur Cazaux is more experienced than his opponent and is above his opponent in the live rankings. Michael Zheng could well take a set off Cazaux and is making his debut at Indian Wells. Our tentative Michael Zheng v Arthur Cazaux prediction is Arthur Cazaux wins.
