Jessica Pegula vs Wang Xinyu prediction

Jessica Pegula is making her 10th appearance at the BNP Paribas Open and she does not have an impressive record in Indian Wells. She has a 7-6 win-loss record in the main draw matches and three times she lost the qualifying round matches.

Pegula has won three WTA 1000 titles in her career and reached two finals, but she has reached the Quarterfinal in Indian Wells only once, which was in 2021 when she lost to Victoria Azarenka in straight sets.

Wang has a 5-4 win-loss record in Indian Wells and she has reached the third round of the BNP Paribas Open for the second time. In 2023 she was beaten in the third round by Barbora Krejcikova in three sets.

The Chinese player will need a good start to earn her third win against Pegula, as the American has a winning streak this time and she is a great form. Her previous win against Pegula was at her home in Wuhan, and this time the crowd would be on Pegula's side.

Pick: Jessica Pegula to win in three sets
