Trending
Svitolina arrived at the Australian Open without playing any matches but that wasn't a hindrance. She scored wins over Sorana Cirstea, Caroline Dolehide, fourth seed Jasmine Paolini, and Veronika Kudermetova to make the last eight Down Under for the third time.
Svitolina took on Madison Keys for a spot in the semifinals and lost to her in three sets. She made a swift exit from the Linz Open without a win before losing to Jessica Pegula and Clara Tauson in the second round of the Qatar Open and the Dubai Tennis Championships, respectively. She received a first-round bye at Indian Wells as a seeded player.
Krueger commenced her Indian Wells campaign against compatriot Katie Volynets. The latter dished out a bagel to clinch the first set but ran out of steam after that. Krueger dropped two games in each of the next two sets to score a 0-6, 6-2, 6-2 comeback win.

Elina Svitolina vs Ashlyn Krueger prediction
A quarterfinal finish at the Australian Open hasn't translated to further success for Svitolina. She has a 2-3 record since her run at the season's first Major and hasn't won back-to-back matches since then. She's a former semifinalist at Indian Wells and has a 14-10 record at the venue.
Krueger has underperformed at the biggest events on the tour. She crashed out in the first round of the Australian Open and the Qatar Open, the season's first WTA 1000 tournament. She failed to advance beyond the qualifying rounds of the next WTA 1000 in Dubai. However, she was the runner-up in Abu Dhabi and made the last eight in Brisbane and Adelaide, all WTA 500 events.
Krueger overcame a dismal start to overpower Volynets in the first round here, her maiden win at the venue after falling at the first hurdle for the past four years. She improved her record in three-set matches this season to 7-3 with the win. She also has a 6-2 record against top 50 players this year and could outhit the struggling Svitolina to book her spot in the next round.
Pick: Ashlyn Krueger to win in three sets.
