Match Betting Previews

Daniil Medvedev versus Carlos Alcaraz - Sunday, March 19th

Daniil Medvedev has done extremely well to get to his first IW Final, a tournament that he has been dreading from the start.

These IW Conditions tend to differ from most fast hard-court conditions, and actually result in a slower place.

Daniil Medvedev is not a huge fan of these circumstances and from minute one of the tournament, has complained about the speed of the court.

Regardless of what he thinks of it, Medvedev finds himself in the final after a great two set performance over home-crowd favourite, Frances Tiafoe.

Daniil has done well to progress in all situations, even after an injury scare against Alexander Zverev in previous rounds.

This Indian Wells final could be historic for his career, as he is now on a twenty-plus match win streak.

The high-flying Russian has found his form at the right time, and he is perfectly coming into his own once again after dropping out of the top ten, momentarily.

Look for Medvedev to give it all in his position as a slight underdog.

Carlos Alcaraz is back into the thick of it, which is where he belongs.

The US Open defending Champion has had a great two weeks in the desert and now can wrap it up with a bow tie by winning the Championship.

Many people would’ve predicted him as a definite lock for the top four, but now he finds himself an opportunity to clinch his very first IW title.

Alcaraz might be the favourite in this matchup due to the slower nature of the courts, and he will have more time to put pace on the ball, something that could trouble Medvedev.

If Alcaraz is fully fit and able to perform at his best, this match is his to lose.

Betting Prediction - Carlos Alcaraz on the money line to win this matchup, although it is very close!
