Mirra Andreeva Preview
Mirra Andreeva is coming off a hard-fought straight sets win over Varvara Gracheva in the second round. The match took 22 games to decide. Andreeva prevailed 7-5, 6-4 in an hour and 45 minutes. In the victory, Andreeva hit 18 winners and 29 unforced errors. That tally included two aces and two double faults.

Andreeva improves to 14-3 for the season. This was her first victory in the main draw of Indian Wells (lost in the first round last year). The 17-year-old is on a seven-match win streak after lifting her first-ever WTA 1000 in Dubai last month.
Clara Tauson Preview
Clara Tauson remains in hot form in 2025. The 22-year-old Dane overcame Camila Osorio of Colombia in straight sets. The match took 25 games to decide and lasted two hours and nine minutes. In the victory, Tauson hit 28 winners and 24 unforced errors. That tally included four aces and two double faults.
The World No. 21 landed 57% of first serves in play and won 74% of first serve points (35/47). Tauson won 53% of second serve points (19/36) and saved eight of 10 break points. She tallied 45% of return points (39/86) and broke Osorio three times in the match.
This was Tauson's 16th match win of the season and continues to lead the column for the most victories in 2025. She has won six of her last seven matches. The only defeat was to Andreeva in the Dubai final.
Mirra Andreeva vs Clara Tauson Head-To-Head

Mirra Andreeva vs Clara Tauson Prediction
Tauson has racked up 16 wins this season, extending her stay on top of the leaderboard among WTA players with the most match wins in 2025. But Andreeva is the last woman to beat her and the young Russian is eyeing back-to-back WTA 1000s in the next week. Tauson can hammer a bigger serve and has lots of ground stroke power, but when it comes to shot regulation and control, I have to give it to Andrreeva. And that's what it will take to win this contest. As appetizing an underdog Tauson is, Andreeva should win this match. She's got the higher floor and a much more resilient game. If she has to go up a few gears, she will.
