Andrey Rublev moves into the semi-finals of the Indian Wells Masters for the first time in his career as he defeats Grigor Dimitrov 7-5, 6-2 to pick up his fourth consecutive straight-set win this year in the desert. Rublev is now on a 13-match winning streak that saw him win the title in Marseille and then in Dubai. Rublev is however yet to win an ATP-1000 title and with his run this year, he has one of his best chance.

Taylor Fritz makes it to the semi-finals in Indian Wells for the second year in a row as he defeats Miomir Kecmanovic 7-6(5), 3-6, 6-1 to pick up his third consecutive 3-set win having won his second round match in straight-sets. Taylor will play his first semi-final match of the season so far in what has been a mixed run of results for the former American No. 1 who is looking to reach his first final since October 2021.

Fritz will come into the tie with a career hardcourt record of 164-95 and is 10-3 on the surface this season while having a season record of 12-4 across all surfaces. Rublev will take the court with a career hardcourt record of 134-68 and is 11-1 on the surface this season with an 18-2 record across all surfaces.

Looking at these numbers and considering their in the 2022 season, Rublev looks the favourite to reach his third career Masters finals. While Fritz has shown great determination and grit, if he can surprise Rublev who is yet to drop a set, the match could turn on its head. Andrey’s form however should see him through to his third consecutive final.

Prediction: Andrey Rublev to win in straight-sets.
