Command Analysis

Taylor Fritz

Taylor Fritz is in great shape. Him getting into the last 16 at Indian Wells might have been a surprise to some experts, but Fritz is demonstrating confident tennis at this tournament. Fritz ousted with his compatriot Brandon Nakashima in two sets (6-3, 6-4). After that, he left no chance to Matteo Berrettini, who is currently ranked 7th in the world (6-4, 6-3).

Jannik Sinner

Jannik Sinnerhas played only one match at the Indian Wells Masters. In the second round, he defeated John Millman in two sets (6-2, 6-2). After that Sinner was supposed to play against John Isner, but Isner pulled out due to an injury, so Sinner automatically advanced to the last 16. Before the start of the Indian Wells Masters, Sinner won the tournament in Sofia, so some extra rest here might work to his advantage.
