ATP Indian Wells Day 3 Predictions

Fabian Marozsan against Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard

Head-to-head meeting

Fabian Marozsan scraped past the veteran Roberto Bautista Agut in his first round, and the Hungarian looks at another hard match against Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard. The Frenchman climbs into the ranking and it will be very interesting to see how he will appear this week. Expect that Marozsan will get tired in the course of the game, and the Perricard lowers the way to victory.

Prediction: Perricard in 3

Matteo Berrettini against Christopher O’Connell

Head-to-head-berrettini 2-0 O’Connell

Matteo Berrettini will try to build up a deep run here on the most recent good shape. He takes over Christopher O’Connell, who only lost to Berrettini in Dubai last week. The Italian should be well rested and although O’Connell played a good game in his first round, Berrettini expected the Australian to broadcast quite easily.

Prediction: Berrettini in 2

Jiri Lehecka against Cameron Norrie

Head and head-Lehecka 1-2 Norrie

Jiri Lehecka has had a great year with a title in Brisbane so far and he has looked solid in hard dishes so far. He compares Cameron Norrie, who did not quite play his best this year, but his first game here was as good as in 2025. Expect a violent struggle between the two, with Lehecka only win because he is the attack of the two, and that is what the game is needed when the match is extended.

Prediction: Lehecka in 3

Casper Ruud against Marcos Giron

Head of head-ruud 2-1 giron

Casper Ruud did not play badly this year, but there was no additional boost to bring him over the line. The fourth seed will start strongly here, and Marcos Giron may be the perfect opponent to do this. Giron does not have the firepower that Ruud has

Prediction: Ruud in 2
