Alexei Popyrin is back at Indian Wells where his charge starts in the second round, facing off with Zizou Bergs. This match marks the second meeting between the two, and the winner takes on Casper Ruud or Marcos Giron next. Read on for our prediction of the match.
Bergs is making his Indian Wells debut and started off with a 2-0 win over Ethan Quinn in the first round. That was his fifth straight-sets win in his last nine matches, and seventh win in 10, boosting him up to 51st in the live rankings.
With such consistency, the Belgian has compiled a 15-6 record for the season. He hopes to carry the momentum into this matchup.
Popyrin has struggled at these early stages of the season and having had a bye to this round should work well for him. The Australian is coming from a three-set defeat at the hands of Marin Cilic in Dubai.
A good start in the game gave glimpses of Popyrin’s best but he slumped in the next two sets, falling 6-3, 6-4.
That marked his fifth defeat of the season and he carries a poor 1-5 record into this game. It won’t help his psychological preps, being that he trails Bergs 1-0 in the head-to-head records.
Also, he has never progressed past the second round at Indian Wells.

Our Zizou Bergs vs Alexei Popyrin Prediction
Our prediction for Zizou Bergs v Alexei Popyrin is that Zizou Bergs wins the match. Popyrin has had a shaky start to the year and arrives for this match on a losing record. The Australian has managed just a win in the six matches he has played this season.
Furthermore, this stage of the competition at Indian Wells hasn’t had the best returns for him. Popyrin has never advanced past the second round at this event, losing three times. Debutant Bergs will not afford Popyrin much comfort. He has had a solid start to the season and also has the head-to-head advantage.
