Command Analysis
Qinwen Zheng
ChinaCurrent form
Zheng Jingwen is not doing much this season. Before the start in Indian Wells, the Chinese tennis player had only one victory in three tournaments played. Nevertheless, she was able to break her streak of setbacks on local courts and won first against Azarenka (6-3, 6-4) and then against Sun (6-4, 7-5). Both matches turned out to be difficult, there was no stable game played by the ninth racket of the world.
Professional qualities
Zheng Jingwen has a powerful first serve that allows her to score a lot of easy points, and a decent number of aces can also often be seen in the performance of the Chinese woman. At the same time, she does not always reliably hit the first ball, and problems arise on the second one.
Current indicators in the tour
Last season, Zheng Jingwen loudly declared herself, she even managed to become the fifth racket of the world. However, this year she has not yet confirmed her status as a top-10 player, she has won only three of the six matches played, and with such results she risks leaving the top 10 in the near future.
Interesting facts for betting
- Only one of the six matches played since the beginning of the season with the participation of Zheng Jingwen had three sets.
- In the three previous matches of the Chinese tennis player, more than nine games were played in the second game.
Marta Kostyuk
UkraineCurrent form
Kostyuk is defending serious ranking points in Indian Wells for last year's semifinal. So far, Marta is moving through the tournament grid very confidently. At the start, she defeated Montgomery 6-1, 6-3. This was followed by an equally convincing victory over Dolhide (6-3, 6-3). As you can see, the rivals were not the most difficult, the first real test of strength was ahead.
Professional qualities
Marta has good movement on the court and excellent footwork. She gets a lot of points with the help of a well-placed backhand. At the same time, the Ukrainian tennis player does not differ in stable actions on her serve.
Current indicators in the tour
In 2025, Kostyuk played 14 matches in the tour, in which she won eight and suffered six defeats. At the moment, her best result is the quarterfinals in Doha.

2.21Tip and bets
Zheng Jingwen won two consecutive tournaments for the first time this season, but it's obviously too early to say that she has reached the peak of her form. Kostyuk, unlike the Chinese woman, is having a more successful season, defends the ranking points for last year's semifinal at Indian Wells, and has more than confidently overcome two rounds. We believe that Marta will be able to take advantage of her opponent's mistakes and advance to the quarterfinals.
Our betting tip is that Kostyuk will win with a coefficient of 2.37
