On the WTA side of things, in Indian Wells on Thursday, up-and-comer Talia Gibson, who has been in hot form over the last week or so, will continue her assault on top-20 players, now facing Linda Noskova as she bids to reach the semi-finals of this prestigious event. The 21-year-old competitor, who has already achieved a career-best by reaching this round, played some fabulous tennis when defeating world number seven Jasmine Paolini last time out, and off the back of that big win, she should be feeling confident.
Linda Noskova also gave herself a healthy confidence boost by beating the very capabale Alexandra Eala in straight sets during the previous round, but she's not always been perfect against lower-ranked players in recent weeks, which is worrying given the form shown by her Australian opponent. Can the Czech player confirm favoritism here?

Our Linda Noskova vs Talia Gibson Prediction
At the end of the day, this is a match that Linda Noskova really should win, but it's a funny old game, and things often don't go as they should. Of course, Talia Gibson is ranked much lower than Noskova, but clearly she's an improving player, and given her efforts against some other very good players in Indian Wells, the Aussie is well worthy supporting to avoid a straight set defeat, at least she is all the time odds of +105 are on offer. For my money, this bet should be closer to -125.
Gibson comes into this match having beaten world number seven Jasmine Paolini, showing an awful lot of quality, while she's now beaten three top-20 players at this event. She means business, make no mistake about it.
Our Linda Noskova vs Talia Gibson Pick: Talia Gibson +1.5 Set Handicap.
