Arthur Fils has lost three of his last five matches. His last match was in Dubai, where he lost in the opening round against Borges in straight sets. It is his second appearance in Indian Wells. The Frenchman lost in the third round against Ruud in his debut campaign.
Gabriel Diallo has won three of his last five matches. This week in Indian Wells, Diallo won his opening-round match against Zhang in three tight sets after saving two match points in the deciding set. It was his first appearance in Indian Wells.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Fils is the slight favorite in this matchup, and we agree. He is a more experienced player than Diallo at the highest level. Diallo struggled in the opening round match against Zhang and was on the verge of losing the match. We expect Fils to be a better player tonight:
That being said, Fils winning is a value bet.
