The American will now be trying to secure a more confident win against Lucia Bronzetti, while Naomi Osaka is also involved in Day 6 action, taking on Elise Mertens. We also predict the rest of the day&#8217;s action in <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/tennis\/2024\/03\/10\/wta-indian-wells-day-6-predictions-sabalenka-raducanu\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">a separate article<\/a>. Who do you think will come out on top?<\/p>\n<h2>WTA Indian Wells Day 6 Predictions<\/h2>\n<h4>Elina Svitolina vs Emma Navarro<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Head-to-head:<\/strong> First meeting<\/p>\n<p>Emma Navarro, from an ITF breakout, turned herself into a proper main tour force this year and it seems that she&#8217;s not done developing yet. 16-5 for the season, the American is displaying some pretty incredible grit and consistency. Elina Svitolina in the meantime has re-established herself back at the top of the sport. She&#8217;s probably still the better player here, but the slower conditions might give Navarro a decent shot. Svitolina will need to balance her natural game and the post-comeback aggression well.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Svitolina in 3<\/em><\/p>\n<p>[tgdcta items=&#8221;1&#8243; id=&#8221;170466&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h4>Anna Blinkova vs Diane Parry<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Head-to-head:<\/strong> First meeting<\/p>\n<p>Two players who are quietly enjoying a bit of a breakthrough season. While there was nothing quiet about Anna Blinkova&#8217;s win over Elena Rybakina at the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/tennis\/category\/australian-open\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Australian Open<\/a>, something that has gone a bit unnoticed is how the erratic Russian has recently found a lot more consistency. Diane Parry on the other hand is getting a lot of out of her serve these days and winning matches in most events she plays. Who&#8217;s the favorite here? Probably Blinkova, whose weaponry is a bit more threatening and who performed incredibly well in the first two rounds.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Blinkova in 3<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a id=\"tlMGaIXxQ2B7VTvHNaG5Gw\" class=\"gie-single\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/2064221814\" 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:'tlMGaIXxQ2B7VTvHNaG5Gw',sig:'UIQr4eezw3xgEvcsy7NBuH5wfRv3faCRYPD8bOTsoRA=',w:'594px',h:'389px',items:'2064221814',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<h4>Naomi Osaka vs Elise Mertens<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Head-to-head:<\/strong> Osaka 3-1<\/p>\n<p>The comeback of Naomi Osaka is still a little bit untested in terms of how serious it will turn out to be, but Elise Mertens is usually a nice indicator of where you are with your game. She demands a certain standard from her opponents and while she might struggle to beat the top players regularly, you&#8217;re not going to take her down playing subpar stuff. Osaka used to like the matchup, but more importantly she seems to be getting back to a better standard with every performance. If the 2018 champion plays well, she should pull this off.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Osaka in 2<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a id=\"SH-Hy2QNSwBP1dhkOhkqFw\" class=\"gie-single\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/2064222582\" 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:'SH-Hy2QNSwBP1dhkOhkqFw',sig:'TaxgDhkuSx9cVE5u_9zZ09mSb4Ok0OF9CQK_Qnzapeo=',w:'594px',h:'389px',items:'2064222582',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<h4>Lucia Bronzetti vs Coco Gauff<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Head-to-head:<\/strong> Gauff 1-0<\/p>\n<p>It was such a close call for Coco Gauff in the opening round, Clara Burel leading her 4-0 and 5-2 in the deciding set. It&#8217;s not like the Frenchwoman didn&#8217;t have the attacking arsenal to put her under some pressure, but all the key moments were just about the US Open champion playing with a bit more focus and limiting the errors to prevail. It&#8217;s doubtful if Lucia Bronzetti will even be able to put Gauff in such a position again, but even if it happens the American looks like she will problem-solve her way out of trouble.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Gauff in 2<\/em><\/p>\n<p>[tgdcta items=&#8221;1&#8243; id=&#8221;170468&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p><em>Main Photo Credit: Mike Frey-USA TODAY Sports<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coco Gauff was among the top seeds who struggled in their second rounds at the WTA Indian Wells Masters, but a bit like Aryna Sabalenka she managed to pull off an incredible comeback.
