There's plenty of action for bettors to get stuck into at the ATP event in Indian Wells on Saturday, officially known as the BNP Paribas Open. One of the more interesting contests, certainly from a value betting angle, is the one between Jack Draper and Joao Fonseca. 

British player Jack Draper has certainly enjoyed himself in the last six months or so. He's been playing some top-tier tennis, especially on hard courts, and that's why he has risen to a rather lofty 14 in the ATP rankings, and let's be honest, there seems to be little reason as to why he cannot climb higher. Draper comes into this tournament having reached the final in Doha a few weeks ago, so he'll certainly be looking to go deep here. 

Another bright young player, Joao Fonseca has also had a pleasing last six months or so, with the Brazilian not quite ranking as high as Draper, but it probably won't be long, especially if he continues to improve. Having switched to clay for an event in Buenos Aires recently, an event that he won, Fonseca returned to a hard surface with a win over Jacob Fearnley on Thursday. With that under his belt, he'll be looking to kick on.
