Shelby Rogers vs Jelena Ostapenko: Preview

Shelby Rogers reaches her 4th quarter-final of the season and her first at the Indian Wells having failed to cross the 2nd round mark in her previous tournaments. Rogers played one of the most exciting matches on the WTA side this week as she beat Canadian teen sensation Leylah Fernandez 2-6, 6-1, 7-6(4) in a crunch 2.5-hour encounter.

Jelena Ostapenkoa also makes it to her 4th quarter-final of the season and her debut appearance in the last-8 of the Indian Wells. After a hard-fought 3-set win in the 2nd round against Yulia Putintseva, the former French Open champion defeated Iga Swiatek 6-4, 6-3 in just over the 1.5-hour mark to book her spot in the quarter-finals.

Shelby Rogers vs Jelena Ostapenko: Head to Head

This will be the 3rd meeting between the duo and their first on the Hardcourts having met on Claycourts on both the previous occasions. They last met in the 2nd round of the 2019 Charleston Open where Jelana won in 3-sets to extend her lead in the head-to-head tie where she leads 2-0 now.

Shelby Rogers vs Jelena Ostapenko: Prediction

Rogers will come into the tie with a career Hardcourt record of 143-106 and is 20-11 on the surface this season having gone 29-21 for the season across all surfaces. Jelena will take the court with a career Hardcourt record of 82-75 and is 11-8 on the surface this season while being 31-17 across all surfaces this season.

Looking at these numbers, their recent form and past few performances, it seems that Jelena Ostpaenko will be heading into the next round given her better experience of playing in these big matches but Jessica will surely make the match exciting as she comes high on confidence after good wins this week and is hunting her maiden WTA-1000 trophy.

Prediction: Jelena Ostapenko to win in 3-sets.
