LiontipsGilles Belen Thijkmann - Daria Saville: prediction and bets on the WTA Indian Wells match
Command Analysis
Current form
Thijkmann has gained good form over the course of the season and is coming to Indian Wells fully armed. Back in late January, the Swiss tennis player managed to make it from qualifying to the quarterfinals in Singapore. In February, she had only one tournament, which turned out to be very successful – Gilles Belen won the title in Mumbai, India.
Professional qualities
Gilles Belen feels most comfortable on the ground, as he prefers defensive tennis more, likes to hold the ball on the back line, and wait for an opponent's mistake. The Swiss tennis player is not known for her stable actions on her serve.
Current indicators in the tour
Since the beginning of the year, Thijkmann has played 14 matches in the tour, in which she won 11 victories. Such results allowed her to return to the top 100 of the world ranking. At the moment, the representative of Switzerland is the 98th racket of the world.
Interesting facts for betting
- In the last three matches, Thijkmann did not exchange the sets she won with her rivals.
- No more than nine games were played in the first set in Thijkmann's three previous matches.
Current form
Saville, like her upcoming opponent, has gained good form. Daria played in Merida last week and qualified for the semi-finals of the competition. She only failed with Arango (3-6, 6-4, 2-6). This is the best result of the current season for the representative of Australia, as she had not previously had a single victory in the main draw.
Professional qualities
Daria is more inclined to play on the back line, but at the same time, she tries to create problems for her opponents with every shot, and likes to increase the tempo in draws. It should be noted that she plays very tenaciously in defense, has high speed, and manages to catch difficult balls. At the same time, if Saville's game does not work, then she completely fails and makes a huge number of unforced errors.
Current indicators in the tour
In 2025, Saville won seven matches and suffered eight defeats. Note that Daria won five of her seven victories on the courts in Merida last week. In the world ranking, she is close to returning to the top 100, being on the 109th line.
Interesting facts for betting
- Saville has played three sets in two of her last three matches.
- In three of the five previous matches involving Daria, no more than nine games were played in the first set.

2.08Tip and bets
Twice in their careers, the tennis players played each other, exchanged victories, and both fights turned out to be stubborn and equal. We do not think that any of them will have a tangible advantage today. Saville played a great game last week in Merida, and she was clearly in great shape for Indian Wells. At the same time, Thaikmann has not had a game practice for a month, it is far from certain that she will be able to show her best tennis right away. Taking into account the coefficients set, we recommend a betting tip for Daria's victory.
