On Monday, during the afternoon, the WTA action at the Indian Wells event continues. Karolina Muchova is back in action and the world number 13 will be looking to burst into the third round. Clearly, as she's up against a lower-ranked player, she has a huge chance of doing just that. The Czech player has been in fine form of late, winning the WTA event in Doha, Qatar, beating the rapidly improving Victoria Mboko, who is the current world number ten. That level of victory tells us that Muchova is in seriously hot form, and she continued to look hot during the first round of this tournament.
Antonia Ruzic is also in decent form, with the Croat recently reaching the quarter finals in Dubai, where she came unstuck against the very strong Elina Svitolina. Since then, she's battled hard to qualify for this event, while she did rather well to beat Qinwen Zheng in the first round. Unfortunately for her, this is a tougher match against someone whom she lost against in straight sets last season.

Our Karolina Muchova vs Antonia Ruzic Prediction
Antonia Ruzic is playing well right now, but we often see that players of her type (top 100, but not quite top 50) find it tough to stay at their best for too long, while let's face it, this is a very tough match for the Croatina. Karolina Muchova has been in excellent form of late, so much so that she's rightly a very strong favorite here. In fact, I'd say she could be even shorter.
Looking at the recent performances of both, it's very clear that the Czech player should win this without dropping a set, and frankly, I'd have her priced at -250 to do that, so if we can get better odds, which we can at the time of writing, we should take them.
Our Karolina Muchova vs Antonia Ruzic Pick: Karolina Muchova to Win 2-0.
