Command Analysis
Elina Svitolina
UkraineCurrent form
After the quarterfinals of the Australian Open, Svitolina did not have the most successful stretch, she could not overcome more than one round in three tournaments in a row. Nevertheless, Elina has already completed two rounds in Indian Wells, confirming the status of the favorite, which the bookmakers assigned her, in the confrontations with Kruger (6-1, 6-7, 6-3) and Collins (6-2, 6-4). The victory was largely due to more stable and confident actions on the back line.
Professional qualities
Svitolina is distinguished by her endurance, moves well around the court, gets difficult balls on the back line. The key to her success is a reliable defensive game and the ability to attack sharply at the right moment. Let's note the confident and well-placed backhand of the tennis player.

Jessica Pegula
USACurrent form
Pegula brought herself to the start in Indian Wells in excellent playing tone. The day before, Jessica warmed up in Austin, where she won the title, beating Kessler in the final (7-5, 6-2). In the opening two rounds in Indian Wells, the fourth racket of the world did not have any difficulties. She defeated Lynette (6-4, 6-2) and Wang Xin Yu (6-2, 6-1) with more than confidence. Thus, Jessica noticeably improved her last year's result at the tournament, when she sheathed her racket at the end of the second round.

Jessica, despite not having the most outstanding anthropometric data, plays attacking tennis and acts aggressively on the court. Her serve is not the strongest, but it is diverse, tactically clear, and she usually serves great in the field.

2.35Bet Effectiveness of sets: 2>1
In four of Svitolina's last five matches, more games were played in the second game than in the first
2.21Tip and bets
In the bookmaker line, Pegula acts as a favorite, which is hard to argue with. Jessica purposefully prepared for Indian Wells, won the title in Austin the day before, and did not experience any difficulties in two matches on local courts. Svitolina is not as stable as her opponent, you can see decent fluctuations in her game. At the moment, the American is more stable than Elina, which will bring her victories and reaching the quarterfinals.
Our prediction is that Pegula will win with a handicap of (-2) games with a coefficient of 1.68
Bet on the total
In face-to-face confrontations, the American has a noticeable advantage, having won five of the seven matches. At the same time, Svitolina often forced the fight, in the last four face-to-face meetings, more than 21 games were played. We do not think that Jessica will defeat the Ukrainian tennis player today.
The second bet is a total of more than 20 games for 1.62
Bet on the second set
It should be noted that in three of the last five matches with Svitolina, a tight struggle unfolded in the second game, where more than nine games were played. We expect that this time, too, in this segment of the game, it is worth waiting for the top in terms of total.
The betting tip is a total of more than 9.5 games in the second set with a coefficient of 2.24
