Command Analysis

Kamilla Rakhimova

Current form
Since the start of the season, Rakhimova has not been happy with her game and results at all. In total, the Russian tennis player has two wins in nine matches played, and she has not yet won a single match in the main draw. Last week, Camilla tried her hand at Austin and lost to Lammens in the first round (6-1, 3-6, 4-6).
Professional qualities
Camille plays with an obvious emphasis on the back line, is distinguished by her endurance and intransigence, and is ready to throw the ball over the net for a long time, waiting for either an opponent's mistake or a convenient option for a counterattack.
Current indicators in the tour
Taking into account the recent numerous failures, Rakhimova currently occupies only 75th place in the ranking, and her best career achievement is 60th position. She has never qualified in Indian Wells, but this year she got the right to play immediately in the main draw.
Interesting facts for betting
- In three of the last four matches in the tour, Rakhimova did not exchange the sets she won with her rivals.
- In four matches in a row with the participation of the Russian in the first set, more than nine games were not played.

Caroline Dolehide

Current form
Dolhide has better results for the season compared to her upcoming opponent, but it cannot be said that the American is currently at the peak of her form. Only one has played eight matches since the beginning of the year, in which she won four and suffered the same number of defeats. Last week in Austin, Caroline managed to make it to the quarterfinals, but she won two victories in those competitions over Zakharova and Gracheva in a hard-fought three-set battle, and lost to Minnen (3-6, 5-7).
Professional qualities
Dolhide has a powerful first serve and a decent forehand in his arsenal. It is largely due to these components that she achieves periodic success on the tour.
Current indicators in the tour
The best achievement in the career of an American woman is 41st position in the world ranking. However, it now occupies only a modest 73rd place. At Indian Wells, Dolhyde needs to defend the points from last year's third round.
Interesting facts for betting
- Dolhide has played three sets in five of her last six matches.
- No more than nine games were played in the first set in three of the five previous matches of the American

2.45Bet Effectiveness of sets: 2>1
This is the scenario that unfolded in four of Rakhimova's five previous fights.
2.21Tip and bets
Dolhyde is performing slightly better for the season and it is quite logical that he gets the status of the favorite from the bookmakers today. However, we would not immediately write off Rakhimova. Nevertheless, the American is a fairly straightforward and predictable tennis player, it will not be easy for her to break through Camille on the back line, given that the hard court in Indian Wells is not the fastest. We expect that due to her full dedication, the Russian representative will have a chance of reaching the second round.
Our betting tip is that Rakhimova will win with a coefficient of 2.48
Bet on the total
Dolhide is prone to protracted battles – in five of her last six matches, three sets were played. We do not exclude that the game will not end quickly this time either.
The second bet is a total of more than 21 games in 1.84
Bet on the first set
Rakhimova had not played more than nine games in the first set in the previous four matches. There is a high probability that this series will not be interrupted today.
The betting tip is that the total number of games in the first set is less than 9.5 with a coefficient of 1.69
