His shots are fast, flat and intimidating if the person on the other side of the net doesn&#8217;t know how to handle them.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, Tommy Paul is an intelligent player. He&#8217;ll know how to use the court speed to his advantage in this match-up and won&#8217;t mind playing patient on both wings to gain an opening. Even with the Frenchman&#8217;s form, we think Paul will just be too crafty in these conditions.<br \/>\nPrediction: <em>Paul in 2<\/em><\/p>\n<p>[tgdcta items=&#8221;1&#8243; id=&#8221;170468&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h4>Casper Ruud vs Arthur Fils<\/h4>\n<h4>Head-to-head: Fils 1-0 Ruud<\/h4>\n<p>Give Arthur Fils some time on the forehand at your peril. Indian Wells will feel great for Fils, granting him time to wind up but rewarding him for taking on a huge strike.<\/p>\n<p>Casper Ruud is in a similar position to Fuls but we\u2019re not convinced his shots possess quite as much bite as the Frenchman. Fils is a youngster <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/tennis\/2023\/12\/15\/the-breakthrough-campaign-of-arthur-fils\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">looking to prove a point<\/a>&#8211;we think he\u2019ll come out hot.<br \/>\nPrediction: <em>Fils in 3<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a id=\"uXR1TvhCS_NZGBqvmRfq5w\" class=\"gie-single\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1936003800\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'uXR1TvhCS_NZGBqvmRfq5w',sig:'LavZjhAdKPeXqkw5lPugjz3mMv9FqQWy7t34yeIGM3w=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1936003800',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<h4>Lorenzo Musetti vs Holger Rune<\/h4>\n<h4>Head-to-head: Rune 1-0 Musetti<\/h4>\n<p>Lorenzo Musetti still hasn\u2019t hit his stride on a hard court. He\u2019s improved his serves for sure but his inability to reliably get into return games leaves him exposed against some of the best players in the world.<\/p>\n<p>Holger Rune comes under that category. We trust him to put Musetti under constant pressure on this surface with clinical serving and flatter hitting than the Italian.<br \/>\nPrediction: <em>Rune in 2<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a id=\"QkBc8YhASahh5mvnOGYYaw\" class=\"gie-single\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/2052269643\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'QkBc8YhASahh5mvnOGYYaw',sig:'47AzmEjVnrCNRNMK7ztt9BG1Q6skmMl8TN7rhRYV1c8=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'2052269643',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<h4>Daniil Medvedev vs Sebastian Korda<\/h4>\n<h4>Head-to-head: Korda 2-1 Medvedev<\/h4>\n<p>It\u2019s hard to know what you\u2019ll get with Sebi Korda. He\u2019s a big hitter and a steady returner, capable of playing flat booming strokes that can cause damage in any conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Still, this match up isn\u2019t particularly great for the American when the conditions are slowed down. Korda hit his way through Daniil Medvedev when he beat him in Australia and Shanghai in lightning quick conditions last year but, at Indian Wells, patience is a virtue. Despite Medvedev\u2019s insistence these courts are clay, he\u2019ll be quite happy to keep the rally extended against a player that could be prone to overheating.<br \/>\nPrediction: <em>Medvedev in 3<\/em><\/p>\n<p>[tgdcta items=&#8221;1&#8243; id=&#8221;170460&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p><em>Main Photo Credit: Mike Frey-USA TODAY Sports<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With only four of 32 seeds failing to make it through to the ATP Indian Wells Masters third round, there have been very few upsets so far in Palm Springs.
