Roberto Bautista Agut upset Fabian Marozsan in the first round and has enough weapons to stick with an underdone Jack Draper. I think the Brit is too short in Indian Wells, this one to go over 20.5 games.

HTH

This will be the first match between Jack Draper and Roberto Bautista Agut.

Bautista Agut Still Got Game

Roberto Bautista Agut is close to dropping out of the Top 100 as he approaches his 38th birthday. He had a poor start to the year before beating Christopher O’Connell in 3 sets in Montpellier.

The 37-year-old has been beaten by some low ranked opponents, suffering defeats to World No.318 Juncheng Shang and World No.160 Martin Damm.

The Spaniard shocked Fabian Marozsan 6-4 6-7 6-4 in the first round in Indian Wells, saving 8/9 break points.

Draper the Defending Champion

Jack Draper became a Top 5 player last year but injuries halted his progress. He didn’t compete after withdrawing early at the US Open.

The Brit skipped the events in Australia to aid his recovery. He played one match at the Davis Cup, defeating Viktor Durasovic 6-2 6-2.

The 24-year-old competed in Dubai where he beat Quentin Halys 7-6 6-3 in the first round. That was as good as it got, Draper beaten 7-5 6-7 6-4 by Arthur Rinderknech to go home early.

He spoke about defending his title in Indian Wells: “I feel like I wouldn't be here, wouldn't be in the tournament if I didn't feel like I could go all the way again.

“That was probably the primary reason I didn't go out to Australia, just purely because if I'm going to enter a tournament, I'm going to be in the event, I want to feel like I can be physically ready to not just take part but to go all the way, because I believe in my tennis so much that when I get out there, I know that I can play some great stuff.”

Verdict

Roberto Bautista Agut v Jack Draper

Jack Draper has seen a first set tiebreak in his last two matches, the Brit a long way from top form. I am avoiding the win market here, Roberto Bautista Agut to stick around and take this one over 20.5 games.
