Ajla Tomljanovic vs Julieta Pareja prediction
Tomljanovic had a rough start to the season. However, she will be high on confidence after a brilliant run at the ATX Open. The Australian will be keen to build on this momentum and qualify for the main draw at Indian Wells.
Pareja is at the early stages of her career. The American has hardly played any match on the main tour, and Tomljanovic may be her toughest opponent so far. It will be a valuable experience, if not a positive result, for the young American.
Hence, Tomljanovic is the favorite heading into the match. Her aggressive playing style and powerful groundstrokes will be difficult for the young American to overcome.
Pick: Tomljanovic to win in straight sets.
