Thiago Seyboth Wild faces JJ Wolf for the first time. Their first meeting takes place in the first round of the outdoor hard court Indian Wells tournament. The winner of this match goes into the last 64 of this ATP Masters 1000 tournament and will take on 15th seed Karen Khachanov. Wild is ranked a career high 65th but had to qualify to get into this main draw. He was the top seed in qualifying and won both of his matches in straight sets losing just six games. That included beating the 20th seed Liam Broady who only won a couple of games. Wild has been playing on clay courts in recent weeks and got to the last eight in Rio taking Cameron Norrie to three sets. On hard courts, Wild qualified for the first round in Adelaide and then only lost in five sets to Andrey Rublev in the Australian Open.

JJ Wolf was ranked 94th at the start of this tournament, way below his career high of 39th achieved last year. He's only reached the second round at Indian Wells once in his career. 2024 has seen him play only three tournaments, all on hard courts. The American is still waiting for his first victory of the year. He suffered two straight sets losses in Brisbane and Auckand and then lost in round one of the Australian Open. He was two sets to one and 3-0 down in the fourth against Sebastian Baez when retiring hurt. This is his first tournament since that defeat. We tip Wild to win this match.
