Dayana Yastremska Form

Dayana Yastremska has finally turned a corner after a challenging 2024 season, during which she registered only 11 wins from February to December.

This year, she already has 12 wins, highlighted by a final in Linz, a quarterfinal in Hobart, and third rounds at the Australian Open and Dubai.

She comes in with confidence after dismantling Yuan Yue and Ons Jabeur in straight sets and confirming her new best Indian Wells results.

However, Yastremska recently lost the Dubai third round to Swiatek, 7-5, 6-0, and is likely facing another defeat.

Iga Swiatek Form

Iga Swiatek continues to remain a solid player in early rounds after defeating Garcia in just 61 minutes. When it comes to Indian Wells, she has never lost before reaching the fourth round in any of her four prior main draw appearances.

Indian Wells is one of those places where Swiatek has utterly dominated the proceedings in the last few years and became the champion in 2022 and 2024. Last year, she did not even concede more than four games in any round.

She is being asked some tough questions of late and has been unable to reach a final in the last nine months.

Swiatek has had no shortage of chances, including when she played the semifinals of the Australian Open and Doha this year.
