One of Monday's qualifiers at the BNP Paribas Open sees Sinja Kraus take on Storm Hunter (previously Sanders). Realistically, this is a very decent opportunity for the Austrian player to progress. When last seen, the Aussie struggled to keep pace with Sonay Kartal, and while this may not be quite as tough on paper, she still looks up against it, especially as she has typically found it tough to compete against higher-ranked players.
The Austrian competitor, on the other hand, has done very well against much lower-ranked opponents in recent times. Kraus also arrives in Indian Wells having lost just two of her last eight hard-court matches, which suggests that she ought to take to the Californian courts feeling confident of reaching the main draw.

Our Sinja Kraus vs Storm Sanders Prediction
Let's be honest, despite what the early odds may suggest, this is a match that Sinja Kraus should be winning. To be clear, I think the early market has got this all wrong. I make the Austrian a decent favorite, so odds of +110 really do look generous. Her recent record against similar opponents is hard to knock, while her Australian opponent has found it very tough to compete with higher-ranked players in recent weeks.
