Iga Swiatek vs Bianca Andreescu Prediction: Favorite Swiatek can sink Bianca

The professional tennis scene has been on and every other week, there is a tournament that takes place. While Grand Slams have their own allure, there are many other tournaments that can capture such a feeling. In another high-profile game under the banner of the Indian Wells Open, Iga Swiatek is going to take on Bianca Andreescu.

Iga Swiatek

Iga comes into the contest after yet another decisive win as she rolled over young Claire Liu 6-0, 6-1. As the scoreline suggests, it was a thorough beatdown and Iga had an impressive 85% first serve and converted 77% of her first serve into winners. She had a 30-15 service points advantage while also pinching out an impressive 27-11 receiving points edge. Iga came into the tournament after a Finals loss against Barbora Krejcikova in the Dubai Open. Before that, she had won the Qatar Open after beating Jessica Pegula in the Final. During her Grand Slam, the Australian Open, she was defeated by Elena Rybakina in the Fourth Round. After dominating most of 2022, she has slumped a bit but that is also because she has set such high standards as the number one player that anything less than a title looks like a lean run for the incredible Polish phenom.

Bianca Andreescu

Bianca enters the Round of 32 after a tough battle against Peyton Stearns, which she won 4-6, 6-4, 6-3. After falling behind initially, Bianca picked her game up and did a great job both in her service and return game. She ended up with an impressive 46-39 receiving points and 53-46 service points advantage in this heated battle. Bianca entered the tournament as the 32 seed. The 22-year-old has dropped in the rankings in the last two years after having jumped to as high as number four. In high-profile tournaments, she has mostly crashed out in the initial rounds because of which her ranking has taken a huge hit. She is still just 22 years old and can end up discovering her old mojo. To be honest, injuries have derailed her career too.

Expert Betting Tips

There is no doubt that the scales are tilted towards the world's number one Iga here. Bianca doesn’t have the same zip she used to have earlier and her record against top players has been shoddy lately. Thus, Iga is most likely going to win in two sets.
