On March 2, Yulia Starodubtseva and Claire Liu (Wat 275) will be held in the qualification of Indian-Wells (WTA 109). The start of the meeting is scheduled for 23:00 Kyiv time.
Yulia Starodubtseva
This season is still catastrophically for Ukrainian, only one victory in 8 matches. In defense of Starodubtseva, one can only say that she does not play in minor tournaments, so she plays against strong rivals.
The last match of the athlete played in Mexican Merida, where she got into the main grid like a lacquer. It was not possible to take advantage of the chance, inferior to 4: 6, 1: 4, the Ukrainian starred due to knee injury.
Starodubtseva in February turned 25, practically the flourishing of the forces for tennis players, but it seems that it is not in the best physical form. It is unclear how serious the last trauma was. Since Starodubtsev plays mostly against rivals from the TOP-100, the American should not be such a dangerous rival.

The American tennis player is 24 years old, but at an adult level she has been playing in fact from the age of 16, so she does not borrow her experience. From 2021 to 2023, Liu completed the season in the TOP-100, but now rolled only into the third hundred.
The tennis player played in four tournaments, in three cases of ITF series, which cannot be considered strong. The most successful people performed in Thailand, where she was able to reach the semifinals, and there she was defeated because she did not go out for the match.
The only serious tournament was Aus Open, where she lost in the first match of qualification Ellie Poid – 5: 7, 2: 6. In total, the athlete has 9 matches in which she won five victories.
She held her last match at the athlete at the tournament in Australia, where Lizett Carber Lizett – 7, 7: 6, 6: 7: 7: 7, 7: 6, 6, 6, 6: 6, 6: 6, 6: 6, 6: 6, 6: 6, 6: 6, 6:

The tennis players have never played with each other, so you will still need to get used to each other style. The Ukrainian is a small favorite that looks logical, because it is much higher in the rating.
GGBET experts give the following forecast for this meeting: Victory of Starodubtseva – 1.7, Liu success – 2.22. Watch the GGBET line on the site and find an interesting match. Keep your line!
It is important and honorable to get to the main grid of such a tournament, so the motivation will be high, although the Americans should be comfortable playing at home, I will risk putting on a clean Ukrainian victory.
