As things start to heat up at the WTA event in Indian Wells, there are a few interesting matches taking place on Saturday, one of which involves recent tournament winner Amanda Anisimova, who is quickly becoming a top player. The American will take on former world number four Belinda Bencic, who after a time in the tennis wilderness, has been showing the form of old this season. 

2025 has so far been an excellent year for Amanda Anisimova, who was able to build on the decent form shown when reaching the quarters in Hobart, Australia, by going all the way in Doha last month, beating some top players to win her first WTA 1000 title. The form that the 23-year-old displayed in Qatar proved that she's definitely a player ready to tussle with the best, so we shouldn't be surprised if she does well this week. 

As for Belinda Bencic, well, 2025 has also gone well. The Swiss player is seemingly on the up this season, and she too has landed a title, winning the event in Abu Dhabi back in early February. Much like Anisimova, she beat some very decent players to secure that title, while she made a pleasing start to life in Indian Wells with a straight-set win on Thursday.
