Prediction for the ATP Indian Wells Karen Khachanov vs Alejandro Davidovich Fokina match which will take place on March 12th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available. 

We assumed Karen would have problems in the second round of Indian Wells because German Otto was pretty good before that. However, Karen's match against Oscar lasted only an hour and 17 minutes. The German took only six games in two sets, three in each. During the game, the Russian served through five times with zero double errors and won 63% of points on the first serve and 65% on the second. Return statistics: 48%/50%, winners/unforces statistics 15/7. A good match in terms of quality performed by the 15th racket of the world. Karen had previously reached the semi-finals of the Australian Open and failed at the Dubai tournament.

The Spaniard performed better than Karen in Dubai and beat Jaziri in the UAE but lost in three sets to Rublev. In Indian Wells, Alejandro also started playing in the second round, in which he was stronger than the Chinese Wu Yibing, the 67th number in the world ranking. The match against him lasted an hour and a half, and Davidovich Fokina won it with a score of 6:4, 6:1. During the game, he won 88% of points on the first serve and 67% on the second. Return statistics: 33%/66%. Winners/unforces statistics 16/10. Wu Yibing's statistics of actively won goals and unforced errors were negative, 13/20.

There is a feeling that Karen's Melbourne style has stayed, and if this is the case, Khachanov can go very far in the current tournament and should take revenge on the Spaniard for the defeat at Indura in Paris in 2020. In this pair, we are on the side of the favorite. Over the past year, Karen has become stronger, which has affected his rating. Khachanov will win two games in Sunday's match.
