Polina Kudermetova vs Sonay Kartal Prediction & Betting Tips - WTA Indian Wells
by Steve Ashfield | in Tennis Predictions
We'll have an unseeded player in the last 16 at Indian Wells. Round three sees unseeded Polina Kudermetova take on lucky loser Sonay Kartal in this outdoor hard court tournament. Here's our match prediction.
Sonay Kartal has already lost one match in this WTA 1000 tournament. The second qualifying round saw the world number 83 beaten by Clervie Ngounaue but the Brit was then reinstated as a lucky loser.
Round one saw her defeat Varvara Lepchenko and that was followed by a straight sets win over out-of-form 16th seed Beatriz Haddad Maia. Kartal is now up to a career-high 70th in the live list. This is her first time past round one of a tournament this year.
Polina Kudermetova saw her 2025 get off to a great start with a run to the last four in Brisbane. That included wins over Daria Kasatkina, Ashlyn Krueger and Liudmila Samsonova. The 21-year-old has been inconsistent since then though.
Her form has returned this week at Indian Wells with wins over Claire Liu and 20th seed Ekaterina Alexandrova with only 13 games lost. The Russian is up to a career-high 56th and 26th in the Live Race.
We tip Polina Kudermetova to win this match and face the winner of Sabalenka v Bronzetti in round four.
