Maria Sakkari vs Aryna Sabalenka. Prediction and Betting Tips for WTA Indian Wells

Sakkari is defending ranking points for the final of a previous Indian Wells tournament. Greek player managed to reach the semi-final, but it wasn't easy for her. Maria had to play three sets in each of her matches. 

World No. 7 had a relatively easy draw. She managed to get past Rogers, Kalinina, Pliskova and Kvitova. She got off to a slow start of the quarter-final match against Kvitova, but eventually cruised to a victory (4:6, 7:5, 6:1). An outstanding physical form usually helps Sakkari in long matches. 

Australian Open winner was considered one of the main favourites for the Indian Wells title since the start of a tournament. Sabalenka is meeting the expectations so far. 

Aryna met no resistance from Evgeniya Rodina (6:2, 6:0) in the first match. Second round opponent Lesia Tsurenko withdrew herself from the tournament. Round of 16 match against Krejcikova was the hardest one for Sabalenka so far. Only Barbora managed to beat Aryna in the current season, Belarusian player lost to Krejcikova in Dubai. But this time, World No. 2 took the victory (6:3, 2:6, 6:4). Despite the odds, Belarusian player managed to defeat Cori Gauff quite easily in the quarter-final (6:4, 6:0).
