13th seed Casper Ruud is hoping to reach round four at Indian Wells for the first time since 2024. To do so, he must defeat the 24th seed Valentin Vacherot who is making his debut in this outdoor hard court tournament. Read our match prediction below.
A match against either top seed Carlos Alcaraz or 26th-seeded Arthur Rinderknech is the prize for the winner.
Casper Ruud has only reached the last eight of this tournament on one previous occasion. That was in 2024 and last year he was beaten in the second round. That didn't happen this year as Ruud beat Alexander Shevchenko in straight sets, though a tie-break was needed in set two.
Ruud has only reached one fourth round this year and that was in the Australian Open.
Valentin Vacherot is a career-high 23rd in the live rankings, 11 places below his opponent. Last year's Shanghai Masters title winner has continued to make impressive progress since then. Two quarter-finals have already been reached by him this year.
One of those was in Adelaide in January and most recently in Acapulco. So far on his debut at Indian Wells, Vacherot has beaten Nuno Borges in straight sets, both ending 7-5. We tip more than 21.5 games to be played in this match.
