Indian Wells 2023

Fixture: (15) Petra Kvitova vs (24) Jelena Ostapenko. Date: March 12, 2023. Tournament: BNP Paribas Open. Round: Third round (Round of 32).

Up against a familiar rival in the form of Kvitova, the Latvian will need to raise her level going forward. The Belarusian stepped up her game in the next set as she jumped to a 5-2 lead. Sasnovich snapped her momentum by claiming the next two games, but Ostapenko wasn't to be denied. The Latvian raced to a 4-0 lead in the opening set, but her opponent dug deep to level the score. Kvitova got back on serve by bagging the next three games in a row. Following a first-round bye, Kvitova faced Elizabeth Mandlik in the second round.

Taylor Fritz will start the defence of his Indian Wells title on Saturday, taking on Ben Shelton.

Fritz will have been desperate to bounce back after his shock Australian Open loss and has done that fairly convincingly so far. He chose to go pro after a stellar college year and has been vindicated in that decision, going from outside the top 600 to No. Taylor Fritz will start the defence of his Indian Wells title on Saturday, taking on one of the tour’s new rising stars in his opener.

Former champions Taylor Fritz and Victoria Azarenka face early round obstacles as second round action draws to a close at Indian Wells.

Meanwhile Alcaraz will look to use variety and depth to cause Kokkinakis problems and force the errors from the Australian’s error-prone game. Kokkinakis will look to serve well and neutralise the Spaniard’s returning quality as he looks to dictate play from the baseline. Kokkinakis had a good start to the year in Australia but is looking to ensure that his ranking is high enough to enter the biggest tournaments on the ATP tour more regularly. [Victoria Azarenka ](https://www.tennisabstract.com/cgi-bin/wplayer.cgi?p=VictoriaAzarenka)loves playing at Indian Wells having won the title on two occasions. A victory over Alcaraz will go a long way to ensuring that he is a constant threat on the tour as his least comfortable surface approaches next month. [Carlos Alcaraz ](https://www.tennisabstract.com/cgi-bin/player.cgi?p=CarlosAlcaraz)has more than made up for lost time as he secured eight victories on clay last month. Muchova will look to disrupt Azarenka’s rhythm with slice and spin while Azarenka will look to be consistently aggressive from the baseline and change the direction of her shots consistently. Now having reached the world’s top five Fritz will look to rise to the expectation as he looks to defend the title this year without having to worry about [Novak Djokovic ](https://www.tennisabstract.com/cgi-bin/player.cgi?p=NovakDjokovic)or [Rafael Nadal](https://www.tennisabstract.com/cgi-bin/player.cgi?p=RafaelNadal). Muchova’s mix of variety and power can be troublesome for any opponent and after a lack of match practice as well as fitness issues, Muchova is looking to get her ranking back up with a deep run in California going a long way to achieving that goal. Furthermore the 14th seed recently reached the final here in 2021 and is one of the players to have been helped by the higher bouncing conditions in California. At only just 20 years old, Shelton is now looking to make a major mark on the tour by achieving one of the best wins of his career. This will be a great advert for American tennis and overall a great test to see if Fritz can thrive under pressure.

Jack Draper set up an all-British clash at Indian Wells with Dan Evans after he defeated Leandro Riedi with the loss of two games.

Evans will look to use the slice and the backhand to neutralise Draper’s powerful game style. After retiring in Dubai, the 24th seed is now looking to gain some much needed form and ranking points and a win against a form player like Draper could kickstart his season. Dan Evans (WR 29) Jack Draper (WR 56) There was more stability from Riedi on serve and some interference from the crowd seemed to improve the quality of his game. The Brit was playing his first tournament since the Australian Open and had made the perfect start to the match using his power and accuracy, to break in the opening game.
