Swiatek vs Sakkari Prediction 17 March 2024

This duel of the decisive stage of the Indian Wells Grand Slam Iga Schwiontek vs Maria Sakkari attracts attention in itself, and our prediction will perfectly complement the overall picture. It is noteworthy that the last time the girls faced each other was on the local courts in 2022: then the Polish woman brought the case to a rout in 80 minutes. Therefore, the sportbook quotes are quite understandable.

Schwiontek gave away just 17 games on her way to another trophy, which is a record for the last 23 years. Such a powerful achievement is sure to give Iga an extra boost of confidence in her abilities. Although she looks out of reach even without new records. Exactly a month ago, the Polish representative defended the trophy for the third time in Doha, and then she was close to triumph in Dubai (top-4). This year, the tennis player ended in her favor with 6-0 or 6-1 in 13 matches, which is also admirable.

Saccari has had the worst winter stretch of her career, but she hasn't lost heart even after a brief stint outside the top 10 of the world rankings. The appointment of a new coach, formerly Jessica Pegula, was a "breath of fresh air" for Maria, allowing her to make instant progress. Last night, the Greek defeated Corey Gauff in a brilliant three-hour battle, hitting exactly half of her break points (6 of 12). In theory, the athlete is able to "shoot" in Miami as well, as her physical preparation is at a good level.
