Command Analysis

Alexander Bublik

Bublik made an impressive comeback in the second round match of Indian Wells against Vitus Kopriva. The 28-year-old representative of Kazakhstan lost in the first set, won the second game in a tiebreak and completely suppressed the Czech's resistance in the decisive segment of the match (3-6, 7-6, 6-2). It should be noted that earlier in his career, Alexander had never reached the third round on the local courts.

Rinky Hijikata

Hijikata continues his successful performance at Indian Wells with a strong-willed victory over Luciano Darderi in the second round. The 25-year-old Australian lost the first game, but managed to seize the initiative and put the squeeze on the Italian in the next two sets (4-6, 6-2, 6-4). Rinkie scored a great move: at the start of the main draw, he broke the resistance of Francesco Maestrelli, and before that he went through two rounds of qualifying, knocking out Ignacio Buse and Leandro Riedi.

Tip and bets

TipHijikata with a handicap (+4)

1.95

Bublik is currently at the peak of his career, deservedly completing the top ten tennis players on the planet. However, his opening match on the courts of Indian Wells clearly showed that the corporate instability of recent years has not gone away - he rolled into the game for a long time, giving the first set to Vitu Kopriva, and only then turned on full power. Hijikata, on the other hand, has already become as familiar as possible with the local hard drive. The Australian started qualifying and has already played four matches here, demonstrating excellent tennis. Yes, Rinky is inferior in class to Alexander and may experience accumulated fatigue, but now he is in great shape. We don't see this meeting as an easy ride for the favorite. The tenacious Aussie is quite capable of maintaining a solid advantage.

Our prediction is Hijikata's victory with a handicap of (+4) games for a coefficient of 1.95
