Karolina Muchova vs Katerina Siniakova Prediction

We are guaranteed a Czech in the second week of Indian Wells, and I honestly think this could be much closer than the odds suggest. Siniakova has lost seven games in two matches and just completed an effortless 6-2, 6-2 win over the tricky Putintseva. Muchova has a much smoother and well-rounded no doubt, but the unpredictability of Siniakova is what makes this match a tough one to navigate for Muchova.

Siniakova is a scrapper from the baseline and she can be aggressive when you least expect and let's not even talk of her dexterity and net skills. She's the doubles No. 1 and knows when and how to finish short balls. I still believe Muchova will win this. She's the steadier and more consistent player, but do not rule out a three-setter in this intriguing all-Czech clash.
