Irina-Camelia Begu vs Katie Boulter Prediction & Betting Tips - WTA Indian Wells
by Steve Ashfield | in Tennis Predictions
25th seed Katie Boulter begins her Indian Wells campaign on Friday. The British player faces unseeded Irina-Camelia Begu in round two of this outdoor hard court tournament. Who'll make it into round three? Read our match prediction.
Boulter received a bye into the second round of this WTA 1000 tournament. In five previous visits to this iconic venue, Boulter had never made it past round one. The 23-year-old is 38th in the live rankings. It's not been a great start to 2025 for her and she's 48th in the Live Race.
This is only her second singles tournament of the year, though she did play in the United Cup team tournament. Her one singles event was the Australian Open where she lost in the second round. Injury has kept her off court since then.
Irina-Camelia Begu is the world number 74 but has been as high as 22nd. The 34-year-old made it into the main draw via her protected ranking. Round one saw her defeat Ann Li in three sets, losing the middle one. That's taken her to 67th in the live rankings.
That took her 2025 record to 4-4 but that was her first win in a main draw this year, the other wins coming in qualifying rounds.
We tip Katie Boulter to win this match.

Our Irina-Camelia Begu vs Katie Boulter Prediction
It's been a slow start to the year for both of these players. It started ok for Boulter with some good performances in the United Cup, including taking a set off Iga Swiatek. Only the second round of the Australian Open was reached and this is her first tournament since then,
Irina-Camelia Begu hadn't won a main draw match this year before beating Ann Li. The Romanian is far more at home on clay and our Irina-Camelia Begu v Katie Boulter prediction is Katie Boulter to win.
