Iga Swiatek continues to impress as she reaches the 4th round of the Indian Wells for the second consecutive year. After surviving a 3-set battle, the Pole was again tested by Danish teenager Clara Tauson but Iga came out on the top with a 6-7(3), 6-2, 6-1 win after a 2-hour battle. Iga is now unbeaten in 7 consecutive matches and has displayed fantastic versatility this week in the Indian Wells Tennis Garden.

Former runner-up Angelique Kerber finally has her second win of the season as she defeats Daria Kasatkina 6-2, 6-1 in the third round. Kerber had earlier won her second-round clash in 3-sets having received a bye in the first round, similar to Iga. After a difficult start to the season, Kerber has turned out well despite having her personal battles amidst the Ukraine-Russia war.

Kerber will come into the tie with a career hardcourt record of 346-176 and is 2-2 on the surface this season which is also her record for the season across all surfaces. Swiatek will take the court with a career hardcourt record of 65-26 and is 16-3 on the surface this season having played all of her matches so far on hardcourts.

Looking at these numbers and considering their in the 2022 season, Iga looks the favourite here for her supreme form as compared to Kerber who came winless to Indian Wells. While the German has numbers and experience in her side, Iga’s current form and better athleticism make her the contender to reach the quarter-finals.

Prediction: Iga Swiatek to win in 3-sets.
